in the central plains of the US, the word environmentalist is not ever said out loud, although Amish cultures here are mostly respected for practicing ecological agriculture.
it would be detrimental to my social health to be perceived as one of “those environment people “.

in the desert, attitudes are worse, because of the concentration and density of the problems. water shortages–heat–saline leaching–arsenic. the farming communities compete with towns, and results intensify the discourse to enmity.

Sounds great, Gavin. This is the kind of stuff that I’ve been talking/teaching/reading/writing about for the last five years. I’m really looking forward to it.

Looking forward to it! This sounds really interesting.

I’ve done some research on Latina women in environmental justice issues and – although they work on clean water/clean air issues – more often than not they identify themselves as “mothers” or “I’m just doing what’s right” or “I’m just protecting my community.” Rarely does “environmentalism” enter the discussion. So I’m interested to read what you find out!
