A rather stunning example of "Ecological Denial" -- is there one word in here about the ecological health of the River itself?

Gary Wockner, a self-described bad boy of the environmental world, doesn’t hesitate to go after fellow activists he believes aren’t doing enough to combat the giant institutions that control much of Colorado’s water. Here's what he's doing himself.
