New DU Study Examines Americans' Attitudes and Knowledge of the Environment

[Bob Parcelles,Jr.]

EDITOR'S NOTE:

(this post is being posted to lists and people who do not "do" birds,
butterflies or do not know what a Miami blue is...yet)

THIS IS THE MOST IMPOTANT POST I HAVE MADE IN MONTHS. IT SHOWS WHAT
THE PROBLEM IS. AND INDICATES THE SOLUTION! A BIG PART OF IT IS
COMMUNICATION AND ENVIRONEMNTAL EDUCATION. "TAKE ACTIONS" AND ISSUE
WORK IS IMPORTANT. MEDIA REPORTAGE OF THE ISSUES IS IMPORTANT.
PROACTIVE SOLUTIONS BASED ON SCIENCE IS IMPORTANT.

HOWEVER, I THINK THAT IF WE REACH OUT TO THESE PEOPLE WHO YOU WILL
READ ABOUT BELOW AND EDUCATE THEM PROACTIVELY INSTEAD OF JUST
REACTIVELY THE GOALS THAT BIRDERS,AND OTHER NATURAL HISTORY DEVOTEES
AS WELL AS ANYONE WHO APPRECITATES THE OUTDOORS AND NATURAL WORLD
HAVE CAN BE ACHEIVED'

NOW WE HAVE A GOOD NUMBER OF MEDIA PEOPLE HERE (ON LISTS)AND ONE
NATURE POTPOURRI GUY(WHO FORWARDS TO HIS 300+ MEDIA LIST ("RELATIVE
AND IMPORTANT POSTS). I THINK IT MIGHT BE NICE TO RELEASE NEWS BEFORE
IT IS AT THE CONFRONTATIONAL OR ACTION STAGE. HELP US EDUCATE THE
PUBLIC BEFORE THEIR BIASES [RUSH LIMBAUGH :)] COME INTO PLAY. APPEAL
TO REASON AND LOGIC NOT JUST THE SENSATIONALISM OF NEWS. YOU ARE
GOING TO SELL NEWSPAPERS ANYWAY!

CASE IN POINT! THE MIAMI BLUES PROJECT. NOW IS FINALLY THE TIME FOR
YOU TO ANNOUNCE IT TO THE PUBLIC. DON'T WAIT UNTIL OUR MEDIA TEAM AND
I BLITZE THE PRESS WITH PRESS RELEASES, TAPES AND CDS, DANCES,
LEAFLETS, BROCHURES, BUTTONS AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE? SOMETIMES WE
NEED TO CROSS THE LINE BETWEEN REPORTING AND ADVOCACY FOR THE COMMON
GOOD. YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT I HAVE FAITH IN YOU. YOUR EDIUTORS DO IT
ALL THE TIME.

READ BELOW FOR SOME FACTS AND FIGURES THAT I FIND NOT NEGATIVE, NOT A
CHALLENGE... BUT A GOAL WITH A PREDETERMINED CONCLUSION.
