Is there anything in his background that is even in the least bit remotely concerned with environmental protection? Anything at all? At this point, it doesn't have to rise about the trivial, just show me something.
Did he participate in the office Adopt a Road litter cleanup project?
Does he dutifully throw his empty soda can into the recycling bin as opposed to the garbage?
I'll consider anything at this point.
