		<description>Hi Sally,
I found this post really interesting, I attempt to be Green in a lot of ways including green blogs and an Ma. on ethical marketing but otherwise my activism is of an entirely passive nature - this has helped me realise I need to &#039;get out there&#039; to show what I am truly passionate about...
Thanks for the post</description>

		<description>Tess - I do like that idea of having passive and active activism in our lives. Bearing witness is great, I think, maybe a greater contribution than most of us realise. it was lovely to read about what you did as a result of reading the post - good for you and I hope you enjoy it, however you choose to get involved. 

Steve -  What interesting perspectives on your role as a consultant and using your talents as a photographer. I had noticed the ecological slant and have been fascinated by your &quot;edges&quot; theme. I remember having a conversation with one of my coaches about the meaning of that word - &quot;edge&quot;-  from a personal  and spiritual development point of view. For me that conjurs up so many different images, to do with activism, chaos, pushing boundaries, achieving growth...Very inspiring and stimulating!

Thanks to you both for contributing.</description>

		<description>Hi Sally. 

I really appreciate this post.  I have been pursuing a PhD in organisation consulting for a while now (this is my last year - hurrah) and, as I inquire into my stance as a consultant, I realise that I am an activist.  As a consultant I have always thought that I should provide a &#039;neutral&#039; environment for my clients and that any decisions must be theirs alone.  Now I realise that this isn&#039;t enough for me.

The Joanna Macey quote is very helpful; I realise that the way I can become an eco-activist is to use my talents as a photographer.  You have referred to my blog before but now you might detect an increasingly ecological slant and I have tackled the meaning of beautiful images of our coast line.  Any further support your readers could offer either direct or onto the blog would be much appreciated!  As you say, joining forces is really helpful!

All the best,

Steve</description>

		<description>PS: Isabel Losada&#039;s book &quot;A beginner&#039;s guide to changing the world - for Tibet with love&quot; is a really good primer on activism. She&#039;s a funny and passionate writer. You can see her stuff at her site http://www.isabellosada.com/.</description>

		<description>Great post, Sally. Made me realise that too much of my &quot;activism&quot; is passive: living in certain ways etc. Bearing witness by one&#039;s way of living is important and necessary, but doing something else is also important. I contacted my local FOE group immediately after reading your post, so will see what they&#039;re up to.</description>
