I don't want to seem ignorant here- but hey I've not lived in the US for quite some time!- but what are the Earth Shoes the author mentions? Are they some special boots the enviro nuts wear like skinheads wear Dr Martens or what? And are they made from leather?

"There is little of our poisoned environment that we as individuals can control, but we do what we can to overcome the negative influences on our lives. We seek harmony of the body and spirit and use what is available...meditation "

Nothing there about no one making a profit, however.
Those evil capitalists.

"Earth Shoes" define these awholes perfectly, they hurt your feet, are heavy & stupid, but they have a "hype" so the dullards "believe" they're better 'cause they wear them & you don't.

Belief is the enemy!
