Who's That Eco Man?

Who do you think said this?

Each and every day, I wake up early and I work out. It gives me the opportunity to watch the sun come up, and it's so joyful for me to be able to see that. It renews my spirit and it gathers me up again to try and do more to preserve the environment and protect it for future generations.

A) Carl Pope, the Sierra Club
B) George W. Bush, President
C) Charlie Crist, Republican governor of Florida
D) Ted Kulongoski, Democratic governor of Oregon

Hint: he also blocked a massive coal-fired power plant in 2007, is pushing for more stringent CO2 emissions cuts to slow climate change, and has kind of a scary perma-tan.

Yes, friends, it's C. I was pretty pissed when Crist got elected, because, well, he's a Republican. But as far as they go, he's pretty alright. Especially when it comes to the environment.
