What’s Niackery Anyway?

The term was originally inspired by an article I read in which a climate change denier used the word “greeniac” in an attempt to discredit the environmental movement, but I instantly related to it. I liked it — and still do — because it’s so obviously ridiculous when you think about it. I apparently suffer from the unfortunate condition of caring for the planet and the health of its inhabitants!

I chose to make a mockery of it all with Green Niackery. And since being a natural nomad is a key aspect of my green lifestyle, it only made sense to apply the term to JourNiackery as well, and to create the Niackery brand.
