Environmental activism covers a wide range of actions, from writing letters to politicians and corporations, through publicity stunts and banner-waving protests, to direct action like chaining yourself to a tree to prevent a new road. This category should only contain sites that have some details as to "what you can do" politically — action that people can take, or have taken. Background information and arguments about the issues should go in Society: Issues: Environment.Pages about personal living and what you can do to have less impact on the environment should go to: Society: Issues: Environment Consumerism: Activism.(Note: there is one area that has never traditionally been called "activism", and that is conservation work. This is filed under Society: Issues: Environment: Conservation and Endangered Species and, for more scientific conservation research groups, Science: Environment: Biodiversity: Conservation)See also: (very comprehensive guide)
