A new style of environmentalism
This is an interesting site from the USA that argues that the traditional forms of environmental activism can be marked only by their lack of progress. When you think that environmentalism has been around as long as it has and that some of the big organisations, such as Greenpeace, are mammoth multi million pound organisations that do nothing to touch or engage the ordinary citizen, then you can see where they are going.
There are then those organisations that struggle to be heard in Kington, such as Friends of the Earth, because their voice is drowned out by the power and money of other organisations.
Maybe it is time for equality of opportunity in environmentalism?
This site is an alternative view. Do not necessarily agree with all of this but it is an interesting alternative prospectus.

Being a member of the Royal Society for the Protection of Ants and Spiders I have to agree with Kevin's sentiments.
It seems clear that even within on organisation such as ourselves it's difficult to get any plausble recognition for the work which we do.
1000's of ants and spiders are killed/murdered/stamped on everyday & this is all too often ignored by the so called 'powers-that-be'.
If Greenpeace cant actively put themselves in tune with the rest of the environment world than what hope have we got of saving the planet.......& ants?
