Trying to grok activism

Even though I’m into environmentalism, I’m not really an ‘activist’. To me, an activist is someone who finds particular situations or issues that are problematic, and which the status quo wants to keep the same, and acts to try to force the status quo to change the situation. I think that’s all well and good and important, but it’s not my style.

Still, I think that maybe it would be useful to understand that style of environmentalism a bit more. Grist Magazine seems to be a good website to read a bit of, in that respect.
