It's certainly normal to generalise a group of people, especially if you disagree with them and see them as "other". I've never met someone I would think of as an environmentalist who I would describe as you do, though.
OP is a college student. People fawning over causes they know nothing about is commonplace. Environmentalism luckily is actually the right position, but when you ask someone why they're recycling and planting trees, and their entire response is "for the trees", you can be fairly sure they're not exactly thinking too hard.
They're being herded into a good cause, but without their own reasoning, they become much easier to dupe with bad science and lies that are rather common in many environmental efforts.
IIN to think that too many environmentalists are clueless sheep?

Perhaps the OP should look beyond the people he or she associates with on a daily basis before judgement.
Precisely.
I changed it to say "many".
