But, you see, this got you all the way in Philly talking and thinking about such construction and about environmental effects of such lifestyle. You might not like it, but ELF (and other such groups) get their issues highlighted by such actions, because increasingly, our media-run social thinking doesn't switch on to these real topics unless and until something bad goes off.

Terror groups worldwide thrive on such things because it highlights their issues, or it makes their "assymetrical warfare" possible...they know they're not going to win, but they make others load up on their cost of "winning."
It didn't take ELF's terrorism to start and spread the discussion. The environmental impact of lifestyle choices has been discussed for a while on PB, NPR, and other national news sources.
