John Laumer at Treehugger has issued orders <\/a>for this Earth Day: <\/p>\n First off, forget the old Earth Day tactics. No parading, no protesting, no whining about toxics in your vital bodily fluids; and, definitely, forget about press releases that threaten Climate Change “end times” unless a list of demands are met. You are going undercover.<\/p>\n Strategy is simple. We’re going to re-gather the troops for the coming charge.<\/p>\n There are two tactics. The first one is straightforward. You’re not just “doing your part” any more, you are a Change Agent at large. Slow and steady as it goes. Remember, organic food took 35 years to hit the main stage…<\/p>\n The challenging tactic involves getting into meat space. Blue Stater’s visit Red Stater’s. City cousin visits country cousin. City mouse visits suburban mouse. Mix it up. That’s basically it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This is about as radical as it gets, folks: drop the rhetoric and listen. Keep me posted on your undercover work — I’ll do the same.<\/p>\n Technorati tags: Earth Day<\/a><\/p>\n
