WOW, that is so cool, thank you Nef! I mean this in total sincerity, any suggestions you have would be fantastic even if it may take me a little while to move on them.
Damn, it's tough to pinpoint one single cause. In my mind, conservation of natural resources/responsible stewardship should be important to every single human on this planet. I feel passionate as hell about defending animals and it makes me sick that species are becoming extinct at a nearly unprecedented rate but if we, as a species, do not get our collective shit together and quit wasting and poisoning our water and air, stop mowing the rainforests like they're lawns, get realistic just how much can really be harvested from the oceans and pragmatically face just how many humans really CAN live on this planet, everything else is going to be absolutely academic. I think education and getting people to get their heads out of the sand and face facts (without being called a tree hugging Chicken Little) is crucial. Is there even an organization that focuses in that direction, or do I need to get more specific (I have a very wholistic perspective on things so it's hard for me to get specific about one thing)? I don't know that I have the physical or emotional stamina to start a grassroots effort (not to mention the fact I have social anxiety) so I'd rather work with an established organization.
