Eco-frauds: boomers, smog, and hypocrisy

If her generation was as connected to the Earth as she claims it was, we wouldn't have these environmental problems that seem to be on everybody's mind lately. Can boomers really claim that connection with nature, then look outside and see the smog clouding Toronto's skies? Is it possible to avoid an oxymoron when speaking of baby boomers in tune with nature? I don't disagree with Herchmer's basic belief: we need to take our kids outside more. We need to get them out of the car, which they spend so much time in (as Herchmer claims). "Boomers' Natural Connection Found in the Smoggy Air" The Tribune (Canada)
