Eco-elitists

Eco-elitists are a group who consider themselves to be moral crusaders of environmentalism, via eco-friendly technologies. They are highly critical of those who are not eco-minded as themselves. Furthermore, this attitude creates a new class divide. However, this group is only able to achieve their status because of their ability to purchase eco-friendly technologies that those in lower income brackets can not. This group works within the constructs of capitalism, seeing no need for changes to consumption patterns, so long as renewable technologies adequately fulfill their standard of living.
