Anybody Else Want To Start An Organization? Options

Anybody else want to form a sort of magickal EPA? I've seen too much ridiculousness of non-magickal people attempting to peacefully resolve things which obviously cannot be resolved without some magick.

As magicians, wizards, witches... whatever the hell you call yourself, we are all tapping into the forces of the earth to use our magick. Whether you prefer summoning demons, selling souls to satan, smashing things with storm winds or stirring herbal poultices, we all use power from the earth to do what we do - whether the gods of it, the souls of the people on it, its own very components or things that we grow in it, we rely on the earth magickally - to exclude the very basic necessities of life (food, water, air) that it gives up.

As far as human forces like devlopment and legal hunting go, there's no reason to interfere - that doesn't require our help. However - slowing global warming and regulating weather patterns is something which normal people clearly have no ability to stop. Shall we band together and fight destruction or let the natural world go to hell around us?

As humans it's our problem and that makes it our duty to solve it. So will anyone join me on the way?

The problem that I have with organizations, or any group for that matter, is that the organization in question will inevitably operate at the lowest common denominator. This may or may not be what you want, as power struggles, ego trippers, etc. are inevitable in any large organization.

I'd rather just do as much as I can on my own, get stuck, exchange information/tips with someone else who's been there, then be on my merry way. *shrug*

As for environmental degradation--the earth will survive. Mass extinctions and climate change have happened before and they will again. *WE*, however, may not survive our own mistakes. Keep this in mind--in about 7 billion years, the sun will exhaust the last of its hydrogen and begin fusing helium. Then it will expand into a red giant, incinerating the earth in the process. A few billion years after that, the sun will collapse into a dead white or red dwarf. In 6 billion years when the hydrogen in the sun runs begins to run low but it's not low enough to start the red giant stage, life on earth will be as different from us as we are from bacteria. It's something to think about...
