You might be an environmentalist if...

...if you've ever dived into a trash can after a recyclable bottle you saw someone pitch.

...if you wish Terry Tate enforced recycling everywhere.

...if you drive a hybrid.

...if you've thought about vandalizing SUV's.

...if you've ever done the math on Ethanol's net energy. When considering the pesticides and fertilizer to grow the corn, the diesel to run the tractors, and the energy to ship the corn and convert it into Ethanol, does Ethanol still have a net benefit?

...if someone has called you an environmentalist as if it is a derogatory term. Remind them that this used to be a derogatory term.

...if you've taken the time to clean out a glass peanut butter jar.

...if your friend sends you an email asking you to contribute to his "You might be an environmentalist if" list.

...if you have purple fingers because you refuse to turn the heat on in your room during the winter.

...if you disdain recycling because, even though it's more popular, reuse and reduce are actually more important.

...if you re-use your dental floss.

...if you ask the local carpenters for scraps of wood for kindling for your woodstoves.

...if you put the car in neutral when going down a long hill to get .0004 mpg better gas mileage.

...if you put an extra 4 lbs/sq in of air in your tires to make them rounder.

...if you walk to the Library on a cold & blustery 16? day instead of driving.

...if you save old paint thinner in an old paint thinner container, let the solids settle and use it again and again.

...if you cut off the wooden handles from old paint brushes for more kindling.
