The Decline of Greenism
The loss of political support for the environmentalism reflects the disgust of conservatives today, and this is based upon three distinct failures: (1) the Green rejection of common sense and market operations, (2) worship of dirt replacing stewardship of Creation, and (3) the willingness of Greenies to win arguments through unsavory means. – American Thinker

(1) Conservatives grasp that living in the real world requires common sense and a grasp of market forces. Flushing the toilet too much is wasteful, but flushing the toilet only once a day threatens health as well as comfort. Recycling aluminum makes economic sense, but recycling everything is dumb.
