Leadership, Activism, Mancur Olson, Groups, Localism, and Conferences…

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about activism these days…and the best ways to focus that activism to bring about a soft landing for our society in the face of the problems of peak oil. Individual action is all well-and-good, and we can conserve…but it is only going to be when we bring unified voices to bear on policy-makers that tangible changes are going to be made. How do we best do that? There are ideas floating around for courses of action such as demand destruction through tax increases and Heinberg’s plan…but how do we best get government(s) to discuss the problems and implement solutions?
