Hi Vivian, great talk today at AMEBC. You answered a question about the "why" in all the environmental activism, and you answered well, saying they are passionate about the land. I agree with that, but i think there's something more. Particulalry here on the Coast, there's quasi-religious world-view guiding much of the thinking and action. I call it Environtology. I wrote about it on my blog. You might find it interesting. http://davidbrett.blog.ca/2007/10/23/environtology_sacred_earth_profane_peopl~3180235/
