Green noise. Green fatigue. Eco-anxiety. For as many ways to describe how trendy it is for upper-middle-class types to start caring about the environment, there are equally as many ways to describe another environmental trend: Mother Earth backlash. For all the hype surrounding saving the planet, from Al Gore's horror film to the demands that you stop drinking bottled water, the same people who initially jumped on the bandwagon are now, you're to believe, falling off it from exhaustion. Naturally, the trend-happy media has been quick to jump all over the latest "it" thing: that saving the planet might just be the newest form of American apathy. [CJR]
