Merge proposal

This article had a merge tag on it (for merger with the Direct action page) that had been in place since September 2007 with no comments or discussion here. I have taken the liberty of removing the tag, because the "eco-warrior" and the direct action concepts are very, very different. I wouldn't have unilaterally removed the tag but for the lack of discussion, the length of time, and the very different nature of the two topics. If you restore the tag or otherwise support the merge, please state your reasons here. Bry9000 (talk) 20:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hey ecowarriorinasuit

I removed the last sentence of your contribution which is self-serving and insulting. I may remove the entire paragraph, as I think you are deluding yourself and others. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and ask other people I know what they think of the idea before I take such a drastic measure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Buffalowarrior (talkcontribs) 04:55, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

merge with eco-terrorism

Using violent or destructive methods to advocate a non-violent cause. Or using violent/destructive methods at all to prove a political point is what I would call a terrorist. Animal rights activists who assault people, eco terrorists who sink oil tankers, peace activists who kill to prove their point, etc. I suggest a merge with eco-terrorism. --68.207.156.253 (talk) 18:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reggie[reply]

eco-friendly cars and carbon offsets

I also disagree with the idea that car salemen and snake oil salesmen (carbon offset people) can be called eco-warriors. I think that is insulting and deluded as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Buffalowarrior (talkcontribs) 05:11, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move

This template must be substituted. Replace {{Requested move ...}} with {{subst:Requested move ...}}. A eco warrior (or ecologic warrior) is a type of Ecologic activist (or "environmental activist). The 2 latter articles doesnt exist yet, so I prose placing this article as a article section in Ecologic activist.

Scapegoat

On the regard of certain topics, such as the water shortage in Australia, rather than following the advice of ecologic activists, people continue the direct opposite path yielding as a result the total loss of income. When this happens, ecologic activists which tried to forcome this, are not recognised as such and even used as a scapegoat instead; on which they blame all their current problems. [1]

This curious development should be noted in the article as a demonstration that mere activism without supporting national legislation doesn't do any good
