Al Gore has his imitators:

Contiki is the biggest youth travel company in Australia and it takes the pulse of the market with an annual survey....

Call them the avocado greens - green on the outside, but a kernel of brown. And call them a warning to the Government not to trust the surveys that claim people are happy to pay to “save” the planet. This is a faith of gestures - people pretending to do something about something they pretend is urgent.
