To become an environmentalist, take Action at home, and be environmentally friendly.
To become an environmentalist it is not enough to take part in the occassional online environment action with some of the available action groups, such as Greenpeace and the WWF's Passport Panda program, which allow you to send pre composed email campaigns (see my page on environment campaign organisations), though even that would be greatly appreciated, as some of the campaigns only attract a few thousand participants, which is a drop in the ocean considering we have a global population of 6 billion plus at this time (2007) and is a great shame.
In order to safeguard the world and our whole way of life from man made environmental problems and disasters we must all become environmentalists as much as we can at home and in the way we live our lives, and set an example that cannot be ignored.
Of course this will entail each and every environmentalist to have trained themselves so that they recognise even the little things that could be detrimental to the environment in some way and then they would have to be mindful of the present (to live conscientiously in the moment) in order to make their enviro footprint as small as possible.
For example, when you last made a warm drink did you fill your kettle up to the top when it already had sufficient water in it to make a drink? Having less water in the kettle means you will use less power to boil the water for your drink (make sure the kettle's heating element is at least covered by water)!
We can't just rely on our government's and business to make the wheels of society and man made products environmentally friendly. In order to make the world a better place now and for the future we must take responsibility for our own actions, as much as possible, whilst we make Earth our home.
Check these pages and the news journal for new environment tips and tricks that will help you become an environmentalist. I'll be looking at ways you can be environmentally friendly, and still be able to have that hot drink :).
May the Force Be With You!
