On the level of practical politics, Greens can identify themselves
with a variety of appealing local movements – especially of the
NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) variety.
There may, however, be major problems in educating large electorates in the need for
measures which run directly counter to the consumerist trends of the
times and in achieving the necessary international co-ordination to
attain green objectives.
As a result a lot of green political activism is to be found in pressure group activity, rather than
political parties.
