Utterly false - there is an abiding contempt by many of the loudest in Puna for those who have "sold out" - by which they mean, the "sell outs" have more money than they do, and/or aspire to an economically secure future.
I won't pretend to know the basis for that contempt, but suspect it is driven more by envy than any real commitment to an earth friendly lifestyle...
