Ecology and Activism
A PEI Youth Gathering (from high school age to 30ish)
December 10-12, 2004

   The weekend will feature presentations and discussions on deep ecology 
and activism, addressing global and local issues such as pesticides, 
forestry, fisheries, genetic engineering, and consumerism.  We will also 
explore criminalization of dissent, the so-called "War on Terrorism", the 
global protest movement, and the role of industrial capitalism, 
governments, corporations, and war on the environment and health.  We will 
examine ways of taking action and reducing our ecological footprint, and 
there will be an opportunity for skills-sharing (eg. zine-making, poster 
making, computer skills, and media relations).

   Friday night will feature a potluck supper and the opportunity for 
participants to discuss, prioritize their interests, and shape the focus of 
the weekend.

We encourage (but do not require) a donation of $10-$20 for food and other 
costs.
Young parents are welcome to bring your children.
Please let us know if you need a ride or can offer one.
Please also indicate any special needs (eg. allergies).

Hosted by Earth Action in Millvale, PEI.

"A Criminal is a person with predatory instincts without sufficient capital 
to form a corporation." -- Clarence Darrow

"Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell."  -- 
Edward Abbey

"In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as 
possible from one class of the citizens to give to the other." -- Voltaire

"A state must never lose the monopoly on the use of force." -- Italian 
Interior Minister Claudio Scajola

"Ignorance is the most violent element in society" -- Emma Goldman

"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our 
problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the 
dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and 
millions have been killed because of this obedience. . . Our problem is 
that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and 
starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people 
are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while 
the grand thieves are running and robbing the country. That's our problem." 
-- Howard Zinn, "Failure to Quit", p. 45
