Tai, you answered your own question with your last sentence.
 
"I have to ask why are there so many people hot and bothered about the
attempts of "wacko" environmentalists to make the world better."

Answer: " It's MY money and MY time, thank you."

Tai, environmental extremism is the new home of the left in America. 
The extremists who seek to "make the world better" often use
environmental legislation to push their political agenda i.e. socialism,
communism.

We all want clean air and water, but not if it requires the loss of our
rights, freedoms and liberties. 

We Republicans believe that it is possible to have both.  We believe
that you can have clean air and water while maintaining liberty.

Though we need far fewer laws, rules, and regulations, any legislation
that designed to protect the environment must not harm the rights of
individuals.  This is not as hard as it may seem, yet, using the lefts
shotgun approach has proven very damaging to liberty.

The typical knee-jerk reaction by members of the left is to write laws
which ban activity, or products they feel are harmful.  Yet, armed with
the goal of reducing, but not eliminating pollution, and protecting the
rights of individual Americans, we can work together to achieve
practical environmental goals.
