what to do with limited time

[ernie yacub <yacinfo@mars.ark.com>]

  wherever you live, you can inform and educate your friends, associates,
  family, community.
  
  you can draw attention to the issues by organizing regular boycott
  demos...all it takes is one or two people and highly visible
  signs...handout materials are useful.
  
  you could find out who uses shell oil in your community and then lobby
  those institutions to change to another supplier.
  
  write the occasional letter to the newspapers about shell oil.
  
  find others in your community to work with.
  
  the important thing is to do something, because that will lead to other
  somethings and before you know it, you are involved in the campaign.

  >to diseminate inteligently your information to corporations.
  
  it's not information that corporations lack...it just doesn't fit their
  purpose to account for such "externalities"

  >Where do we "hit them where they hurt" as to law and/or information?  How

  >time available to try to make a difference.
  
  there is no silver bullet...organize, act, educate, agitate.

  i spend one hour every month at the busiest corner of my community, with
  large signs and handouts. (signs such as...boycott shell; embargo nigeria;
  no blood for oil; remember saro-wiwa)
