That is a real good question. I think it's just a knee-jerk reaction that comes from the ultimate failure of the '60's. At its core, the counterculture was an incredibly beautiful way of life, and it was very holy, but then it became commercialized and too many stupid people screwed it up by making the lifestyle all about the drugs, and so now when somebody percieves someone to be a tree-hugger, they also associate them with the counterculture. I consider myself somewhat of a tree-hugger, and I too have often wondered about the open disdain and negativity directed towards tree-huggers (who in reality are just natural humans, one with nature)...Once the baby-boomer generation fades, the idealism of the counterculture will resurface, and it will probably become cool to be a tree-hugger again, thus ruining the beauty of it. Oh well.

I get a kick out of all of the "NEW" and "GREEN" crap that is coming out. We had the ability to conserve and become more efficient back in the 60's and 70's but the consumer lifestyle was pushed on us as being more patriotic, and anyone who was against it was a goddamn-communist-subversive hippie (as my grandfather would say). So now we're reaping a world of crap, and I really do think it's too late to do anything about it now.

tree huggers are bad because we have great lumber areas in our country, yet can't harvest them. What do we do? we import them. Trees are still being cut down. If you want to save trees, stop buying wood products. When you save a forest in the US, you kill jobs and raise wood costs because now we import that much more
on top of that, we have more trees today than 50 years ago, we are gaining trees faster than cutting them down, so why do we still import them?
