Eco-Worriers called to defend sense of humour

As you know I write a column for the Saturday Body&Soul section, sharing its name with this blog. Much of it takes the form of questions and answers. In other words, you write in asking how to recycle your underpants, I respond with witty insights and practical information for which you are eternally grateful. All very cosy, until now. Spiked, the online arm of the Institute of Ideas, has come along with a new column called Ask Ethan ripping it out of this delightful format. Prey tell me what is funny about us earnest, chunky knit clad individuals struggling to do the right thing? Oh, you mean that itself is funny. Well, I hope Mr Greenhart (ha ha) isn't suggesting that Eco-Worriers don’t have a sense of humour?
