I couldn't resist this headline: "Going Green, Without Being Preachy About It." The article discusses Sean Meenan, a New York City restaurant owner who is "a surprising spokesman for environmentalism."

“Some people get turned off because it’s like guys in lab coats or people wearing Patchouli and Birkenstocks, and they’re like, ‘Yo, this is not me,’ ” he said in an interview, explaining his “softly didactic” approach to environmentalism. Or, as he put it to the girls that morning in a rapid-fire patter: “I found the best way to try to, like, get people inspired and, like, want to do something is to make it fun, right? And make it easily understandable, you know what I mean, so, like, people can comprehend and dig what you’re doing.”
