I think all too often being associated with a conservation group somehow makes one "feel" good but it ends there. Case in point: I just participated in a Sierra Club river paddle. I was the only one stopping along the way picking up trash, cans, fishing floats, shoes, styrofoam, etc. At the takeout, I had filled a plastic trash bag full. No one else had picked up anything. Then I had to hear a lecture about preserving the streams and how our president must be voted out, etc. Everyone else was along for the food, company, or exercise, but not preservation. I bet they would all identify themselves as conservationalists and claim to be horrified about the new direction of the Sierra Club. All talk.
