This weeks Green Thought is taken from Turtle Talk : voices for a sustainable future’ - a 1990 collection of interviews with ecological activists, organisers and visionaries from North America. This piece is from ‘Becoming the Forest in defence of itself’ - an interview with Dave Foreman the US environmentalist and co-founder of the radical environmental movement Earth First!

‘…..we need people who, as a last resort, are willing to take things into their own hands and essential become the forest in defence of itself: to go out and help big yellow machines find their true Dharma nature by returning to the Earth.’
