OK, hands up for those who love free software and open content, go easy on the
meat, prefer cycling to driving and using trains to planes, and try to use solar
energy rather than fossil or atomic fuels! :-)

Seriously, I find some of these things go together, but professing to them all
is guaranteed to get labelled as a "do-gooder" ("Gutmensch" in German), not
meant as a compliment!
