Why the green-bashing?

Regarding “Lecture From on High� [Oct. 11]: The story dismissed the vital importance of Yvon Chouinard’s message in its fervor to find flaws. Far from “hypocritical,� Chouinard would be the first to tell you his business process is not 100% green. His attempt to cajole businesspeople to follow suit rather than unabatedly continue to contribute to our ultimate ruin is the focus of the memoir. Business as a construct of mankind must have ethics to survive. We must work desperately to achieve that sophisticated state or perish. That is Yvon’s point.
