Giles,
I apologise I haven't responded sooner. I've been busy with personal issues. Currently, I'm in completing my MA in the Political Economy of Russia. Also, I'm Press Officer for the Campaign for Climate Change.
I sincerely agree with you; participants should know why they're attending the demonstration. However, I think the Campaign Against Climate Change is interested in including a broad spectrum of participants. And I'm currently struggling with striking and inclusive language to explain climate change without excluding political, religious or ethnic differences.
I've been actively involved in learning about enviornmental issues since around 2006, and actually interviewed for Campaign Manager at Greenvoice. Other than that, I've been seeking different ways to get more involved with enviornmental issues such as climate change and really appreciate the Greenvoice forum.
Thanks
Erica
