Four Obstacles to Effective Activism

from Green Root Podcast Hosted by greenrootpodcast

On episode 134 of the Green Root Podcast (the official podcast of Eco-Integrity Alliance), a woodland owl offers some insight into the four biggest obstacles to effective grassroots environmental advocacy and how to overcome them. The owl hoots about: -Distraction - electronics, entertainment, and human-centric causes; -Laziness - our natural habit to save energy by avoiding difficult tasks; -Fear - exaggerated or unfounded worries about negative feedback or blowback; -Infighting - our species’ difficulty getting along with each other; -How advocates might acknowledge and overcome these obstacles to start reversing the eco-crisis. The mission of Eco-Integrity Alliance (eco-integrityalliance.org) is to unite U.S. grassroots ecosystem advocates through common campaigns of mutual support.
