Letter to the Editor: How does littering promote environmentalism?

It seems counterproductive for environmentalists to waste hundreds of dolls made of plastic to save a few trees (“Students Protest the Axe,” Feb. 6). The best way to help the Earth is to do things with long-lasting impact, such as driving a fuel-efficient car and cutting animal products out of your diet. You can save the planet without using hundreds of plastic figurines.
