When you are a German Green. Actually it perfectly reflects the Greens social base. Today in Germany a pro-environmental position has very much to do with personal behaviour: bringing your used papers to the recycling bin, eating healthy food beeing willing to pay twice the price for gas and electrical energy. For some people this should be no problem as long as the shareholder value is going up.
