Nominated for Observer/Ecover Environmental Campaigner of the Year 2006 Miriam Hirst, one of our supporters, has nominated AfSL for this award. If several votes for AfSL are received, we may receive a mention in the Awards coverage and possibly reach the shortlist. Miriam writes: "Please email a vote for AfSL to [email protected] and also to pass on this letter to others. Like many of the petitions which we all sign and send off with hope in our hearts, this just might make a difference if only in how the image of 'Environmental Campaigner' can be communicated by the media." "Won't take but a minute and will help to raise the profile for the concept 'Think Global, Act Local' in which we all believe" "I [nominated AfSL] .. in the belief that the most effective long term way forward for the environment is enshrined in the motto 'Think global, act local' and that individuals and small scale groups who work in their communities to effect changes in individual practices and consumer choices will ultimately change society in the right direction more than high profile and glamorous personalities." "The individuals in your list have all made an impact on people's consciousness of environmental issues. But how long do the headlines last? Who is there to encourage people to change to low-energy light bulbs, lag their tanks, to drive less, use 'environmentally friendly' and fair traded goods and so on. All the myriad small changes that add up to CO2 reduction and a paradigm shift in individual choice and action." |
