Environmentalists and Voluntaryists

Check out The Voluntaryist Website. There is a lot that environmentalists can learn from this website. We may all be concerned about the environment, but we want our friends and neighbors to voluntarily agree to help the environment. Coercion can backfire in many ways, the first being that you are creating a very hostile population, who become anti-political and refuse to agree to do much of anything. Some of the ideas in this website are radical but they should be considered at the very least in the name of political education. For example, secession is a very radical idea, but the original thirteen colonies issued the Declaration of Independence, which created the United States. The Declaration of Independence lays out the facts before a candid world on why the 13 colonies are seceding from the British Empire and forming a new nation. And we Americans to this day cherish the reasons for this secession from the British Empire, and rightly so.
