So…what exactly should we all be doing right now?
This past year was a tough one for environmentalists. Not everything was a bust. But momentum that once looked irreversible lost steam the world over, especially in the US on the public policy side.
We think most of our readers will agree, one way or another, that we all need to do our best right now to redirect and accelerate forward momentum. But deciding what exactly to do can be hard.
First, if you’re struggling with this question, good for you. That’s where it starts. We should be talking about this and learning from one another.
Second, let’s agree that the right thing to do is to act. Doing so certainly beats fretting on the sidelines (which won’t have much impact or even feel good).
We offer our initial ideas below. We think these suggestions have merit. But what we really hope is that they will encourage you to respond. Please critique or tell us how you would improve our ideas. More importantly, tell us exactly what you think environmentalists should be doing.
Here are our recommendations:
