Some History of Ecological Direct Action

 

Our past is not behind us, it is our very beginning -David Ben Gurion, Call of the Spirit Usually history is written by someone not directly involved in the events described; the original stories rarely survive. We make no attempt to organise the links here (and you thought it was cos i am lazy!). All articles are written by the people taking part in the story, from road protest camps to revolutions. His story is written by someone else. Our story is what we present here.
