Person 1: I love the outdoors. I just shipped a new 100% polyester PFAS-treated tent from Japan and I’m going to take it when I go off-roading in my Jeep this weekend.
Person 2: Dude, don’t you think that’s kind of environmental appropriation?
Person 1: But it’s from REI…

Get the environmental appropriationmug. The view that economic solvency implies environmental sustainability, asserting that dense, solvent urban development is environmentally superior to subsidized car infrastructure and, by extension, Levittown-style development. Many "gray environmentalists" do not care about the environment at all, but rather their preferred policies simply have positive environmental externalities (e.g. a libertarian approach to land use results in more efficient, and therefore less sprawling, development and infrastructure).
Gray Environmentalists argue that per-capita environmental impact is most limited in these dense, walkable, communities, not because there is a deliberate effort, but instead due to factors such as car independence (as opposed to car dependence) and central heating (even if minimal, as in duplexes). Proponents also argue that denser development frees more space for parks and recreational centers, thereby creating a greater potential for green space, whether in the community or immediately outside of it.
Gray Environmentalists differ sharply from the more well-known Green Environmentalists, who are in favor of increased regulation, a "return to nature", and frequently view nature as more innocent, and therefore superior, to human lives.

"Did you hear that high birthrates and immigration are causing overpopulation?! We need more living space!"
"Adolf, ever hear Gray Environmentalism? Build up, and not into Poland."
"Ja, but kill enough people and we get lower carbon output!"
"Or, hear me out, maybe don't build the autobahn?"

Get the Covid Environmental Cuntmug. Hym "You're using an environmental trap to try an extort or racketeer molest people into Christianity. Did I not say that? That child molestation is the logical conclusion of your incest cult? This is what I was talking about. And if they aren't converted by the environmental trap than they end up like me. A life of privation imposed externally by fucking retards who have been LIED TO about being better and more-deserving of things. Unbelievable."
