Yup. Environmental lobbyists have way more power than their numbers would indicate because they are persistent and loud. By the way, at your price I would be drinking about $240 worth a year. Groups like the Sierra Club and other environmental zealots have for years been trying to reduce the number of people visiting our national parks. They seem to think that our national parks are their own private property, and that it would be best if the unwashed masses are kept out as much as possible, leaving the backpackers to enjoy these parks in seclusion. Like other special interest groups, the environmental extremists have a disproportionate influence on government officials, including in this case those who run the National Park Service.
