+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

+- Environmental NGOs shot for mass membership in the 1960s and 1970s, and have

+- Environmental NGOs are structurally incapable of participating directly in

+- 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

+- 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
