As far as I can tell there is widespread interest in collapse, peak 
<fill in the blank>, pollution (all categories) as a major contributing 
factor, scarcity of clean water and nutritious, natural food and 
population. I see it everywhere, YouTube, FaceBook, Google+, blogs, 
lists, websites, forums, published literature in print and in digital 
format, collaborative literature (Google docs, wikis, etc.) and most 
other publically acceessable resources on the web. Its everywhere and in 
every country. Notice the Burmese government stopped work on a Chinese 
run dam/hydro project because it would displace many thousands of people 
in its footprint and downstream; maybe we are having an effect. The 
protests on Wall St. are certainly an example of grassroots
peaceful activism.
