An incident like this proves that. People like trees. Trees are important. And the "dirty hippie-tree hugging' view of environmentalists is incorrect. You don't need to be a stinky hippie to see the value in trees and the environment in general and arguments going directly to that image when arguing environmental issues doesn't help the conversation. It's a cop out, often because the person using the 'tree hugger' terminology can't make a real point.

Lol. Like when you couldn't make a real point with the Occupy thing?
What a goofy thing to bring up. People are sad that their trees are broken, and you see it as an opportunity to randomly insinuate that people are environmental posers.
