I also read that article, and the recent letter from Vanity Fair's editor in the Aug?/Sandra Bullock cover edition where the editor says in his 10-year career there he's never seen such an outpouring of letters in support of that green issue. He now intends to cover environmental issues more frequently. I'm encouraged by this, especially since the current administration's slant toward the NPS isn't favorable (in my humble opinion). Here's an article I wrote covering the administration's NPS budget cuts about park rangers being the next endangered species:

And as for more noisy motorized vehicles in parks, I'm with you. I think they shouldn't be allowed. With the suburban sprawl across the country, it's nice to know we have some nature areas where we can get away and actually hear the sound of silence.

I also worked in DC in the early to mid-90s, with that same altruistic spirit. And even as I blog today about group travel, I try to cover eco-friendly travel as well. It seems to be a growing trend. Thanks for posting this!
