This is a fun, short article from the Lives Column in the Nytimes. It is a non-conventional perspective of environmentalism that is both silly and provocative. It flows very easily, making it quick to read and has many creative sentences that are rewarding like
"The backyard was so dense with pines and poplars you could barely yawn out of doors without getting bark stuck in your teeth." Although the focus is a bit ambiguous, the author does a good job of capturing a very humanly flawed approach to being environmentally friendly. It is a topic that everyone can relate to.
Regis, the Lives column is personal essay. I need you to choose a piece that is a reportage-heavy feature. Try again, please!
