lift every voice for mission public awareness
i have been following along with the missions that people have posted at the site (www.worldwithoutoil.org). i have been trying to do all of them, but it got me to thinking. switching from using plastic/paper bags at the store to using your own reusable bag is great! but what would be better is telling the cashier and the people around you why you are doing so. putting a bumpersticker on your car is getting the word out there, but putting the bumper sticker on another car (as suggested) without explaining what it means to the owner does nothing more than get someone pissed off. talk to people, get them to put the sticker on themselves and you have educated another mind.
we need a change of thinking. our country, and the entire planet, needs to alter our view of the world; what we have been doing in the past isn't working anymore. we need new approaches to old problems as well as new approaches to new problems. the first step towards change is awareness, and we need to raise it amongst fellow humans.
with the weather getting nicer i have come up with a new mission: mission public awareness
step 1 come up with a medium to get your message across
i.e. build a solar cooker http://solarcooking.org/plans/ and then start cooking hot dogs outside of your house. people will make their way over at some point, if not just to ask what that crazy looking machine is
step 2 spread the word
tell people how you built the cooker and why. have copies of plans for people to take with them, or better yet ask for email addresses to email plans to save on paper.
you could even go a bit further and have a solar cooker block party. the possibilities are endless. all you have to do is get someone's attention and it will all be downhill from there.
