I saw No Gas Day May 15th referencing an activist plea posted on http://www.nogasday.com/ .. essentially the plea goes that if we all were to not buy gasoline on a given day, that it would cause a blip which would get the attention of the gas companies, and it would make a big impact on gasoline prices. A bit of yahoogling showed me why this sounded familiar, the same message has been in e-mail chain letters going back to 1999.
Police blotter: Web at heart of ecoterror lawsuit is an interesting view into environmental activism that probably went too far. It concerns a group, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, specifically the Stop Huntington Animal Cruelty USA organization based in the U.S.A.
We Shall Overcome: An Hour With Legendary Folk Singer & Activist Pete Seeger is an interesting interview of legendary Folk singer Pete Seeger by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now. If you don't know who he is, he has been a politically active folk singer for over 60 years. His life was very much intertwined with the civil rights movement, workers rights and anti-war activity.
As they say at Democracy Now
Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment
Dear Group Members,
I want to share my article with you. This is about the link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues. The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature.
