IDEA: do activism
 
3 votes

target key polluting corporations and destructive buisnesses.

first ask them to cease from harmful activities. if they do not change engage in creative protests.
if this doesnt get very far ask your friends and family to join and start a campaign.

a great example is marsden B being stopped. A good new one would be to shut down Huntly, the coal fired power station. Others currently incluse KASM who is against seabed mining andthere are great climate campaigning groups overseas such as rising tide in australia
britain and australia.

shut down a coal power station, do a stunt, prevent a coal mine or even initially get companies that operate only with profit as a bottom line
to address climate change.
