Instead of taking environmentalism away from the left, conservatives condemn it as a counsel of doom.

Environmentalism opposes reckless innovation and makes conservation the central order of business.

Conservatives unwittingly side with the social forces that contribute to the destruction of traditional values.

Conservatives have no understanding of modern capitalism. They have a distorted understanding of the traditional values they claim to defend.

The hope of a new politics does not lie in formulating a left-wing reply to the right-it lies in rejecting conventional political categories.

The left sees nothing but bigotry and superstition in the popular defense of the family or in popular attitudes regarding abortion, crime, busing, and the school curriculum.
