But Green has always had at least 2 strands. One, with which I am entirely in sympathy, is really old-fashioned thrift, good husbandry, careful housewifery. Do not buy more than you need & re-use before recycling wherever possible
The other is the snobbish side: despising of the masses; arbitrary in its judgements of what Green means; harking back to a golden age of Nature; travellers, not tourists. The same roots which led to German Romanticism &, ultimately, National Socialism
