Question Earthority!

“I’m not bad at email (though I’ve not fully mastered the whole I’m-out-of-town-on-business automatic reply thing). But blog-posting and setting up Skype accounts and using the web for videoconferencing is, for the moment, beyond me. It’s a failing I’m more and more aware of, because this entire campaign has been organized on the web. We’re building the biggest grassroots environmental protest in many years, and so far we’ve done it almost without a single story in the conventional press. It’s been fascinating to sense the power of this tool. E-Magazines like Grist, of course, have long been in the vanguard of electronic environmentalism. For most of us, though, the new mental models that go with web organizing are only now developing.” (02/28/07)
