I while back I tried getting really into being a very Earth-friendly person, although I definitely wouldn't say it was because of Oddworld. True, Oddworld brought my attention to them, but I know I would have found out anyway. I refuse to eat in a chain of any fast food franchise, and I don't allow my parents to buy petrol at Esso (although they're not under my control ALL the time). But beyond that, my little expenditure ending with me not being able to be bothered to go vegetarian. I always recycle paper, since the local council has provided that service for a long time. Glass too.
I know it must sound a bit callous, but I might try giving the whole thing another try, but right now I'm wrapped up in education, the intricacies of teenage social life, efforts at self-improvement, and just lately I restarted working on my Oddworld website. I'll probably get bombarded with hate mail from everyone who learns I actually stopped work for a period, but nevermind.
There's nothing wrong with being a hippy. And as for your rant, it's one of the best topics on OWF I've seen in at least a couple of months.
