I think you may have misunderstood me. By what criteria do you judge that environmentalism is good? What could you substitute for the word "good" which would apply in a consistent way to "education is [good]" and "income redistribution is [good]" and "genocide is not [good]" and "god is not [good]" in such a way that they all mean good?
In other words, if both environmentalism and education are good, then there must have at least that one aspect in common. What is that aspect? What does it mean to say that some thing is good? Does it mean "I like environmentalism"? Does it mean "Everyone should like environmentalism"? Etc. What do you mean by it?
