Non-Environmentalists Are Hypocrites
Those who are concerned of their own, or families (i.e. kids, mothers, siblings, etc.) well-being are hypocritical in the sense that: the environment facilitates such well-being; therefore, to not support the environment, is to not support yourself, or your loved-ones' well-being (thus resulting in hypocrisy).
But of course many claim to do so all the time.
But how is this so given their deliberate contribution to the ruination of the environment?
Therefore one must conclude that there line of reasoning is purely irrational, hypocritical, or just plain psychotic.

Environmentalist - a person who is concerned with or advocates the protection of the environment. Given that the environment is necessary for survival, then, for one to not be concerned with the protection of the environment would be one who is no concerned with their own, and/or loved-ones', survival or protection- rendering them hypocritical, psychotic, or irrational (potentially even suicidal). Which one are you? Side: Yes
A lot of people are careful what they buy, they re-cycle what they can, they put solar panels on the roof and a solar water heater, and collect rainwater from the guttering, they grow veggies in the back yard and maybe plant a tree to two if they have the space and they would never label themselves as environmentalists. So by your reckoning if they are not environmentalists they must be non-environmentlaists and it is your argument that is the hypocrite. Side: No
