+The main challenge to consumption culture coming from the environmental movement
+in the UK is a message of voluntary austerity, which cuts very little ice with
+the public.

+Local activists such as those protesting Heathrow expansion made progress with
+their demands by getting support from national environmental NGOs, and in order
+to do this, they framed their local issue under the master frame of climate
+change, making their local concerns into a national issue.

+- Environmental NGOs shot for mass membership in the 1960s and 1970s, and have
+  been pretty stable since the 1990s
+- Environmental NGOs are structurally incapable of participating directly in
+  direct action, but can and do support such action indirectly
+- You could argue whether environmental NGOs are more of a movement or more of a
+  political lobby
+- Environmental NGOs thus have an ambiguous relationship with activists
+- Co-operation between NGOs and private firms has generated distrust
+- The climate change master frame is useful to environmental NGOs to give them
+  leverage for their traditional issues, like preventing development on
+  biodiverse land

+- The environmental movement in England institutionalised and professionalised
+  in the 1980s and 1990s
+- Environmental NGOs are structurally driven to work by lobbying and traditional
+  political influence, not mass mobilisation
+- Environmental NGOs mainly depend on the public for money, not action
+- When traditional environmental NGOs have, exceptionally, attended protests,
+  they have functioned as rituals of belonging rather than effective political
+  action
+- Campaigns against roads, airports, and waste facilities were localised until
+  they were brought under the master frame of climate change, making e.g.
+  Heathrow expansion a national issue
