Four Obstacles to Effective Activism

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.
