(1) Enviro groups regarding animal rights

(2) How are activists to use technologically advanced tools such as computers and cell phones to promote social justice and better ecology, given that the tools themselves are problematic in terms of human rights and ecology?

Theme 2 can also be applied to how we are to use other resources for activism such as paper for fliers or autos and planes for fossil-fuel-intensive travel. This may apply to promoting social justice and ecological causes in less ‘consumerist’ ways.

Another detail involves how some people have said activists who decry corporate power are hypocritical given how we require goods and services from big corporations to do our work and to continue living. This inquiry seems related to the question of the extent to which our means are consistent with our goals.

MLK Jr. talked about this regarding nonviolent resistance, but currently striving to be consistent in term of our means and goals seem to involve issue of hyper-consumerism and ‘resource’ usage.

Theme 1 is good, but I may focus more on 2 because it seems I’m heading in the right direction in terms of collaboratively grappling with the question of what we are to do. This calls to mind the following question.

——-Vox pops may work better if I audio record them using an external mic. That way people can see I’m a reporter, and I can engage with a wider variety of people and do so more quickly than if I had to record with pen and paper what people say.

I may leave my bike at the ECT garage and take a bus to Broad and High. I can then walk around the area with the external mic in my hand asking people what they would like to say about what they care about.
