Green Organisation MembershipWhilst browsing the Ecology Building Society's website, I found that they may ask you if you are a member of a green organisation before they allow you to invest with them.We're not a member of any at the moment, although have been members of CAT, Greepeace and Friends of the Earth over the years. Perhaps we should be 
I though it would be interesting to know which Green organisations, if any, Downsizer members belong to. I've put major ones that I can think of in the poll - if there are any I've missed, can someone let me know and I'll add them. |

Only a member of local environmental groups.
That's barking, you could be a two jags driving rainforest logger with membership of the wwf. |

I'm not really an organisation joiner in that sense. Not at a national sort of level, at any rate. | ||

Soil Association for old times sake really as it was the first organisation I ever joined and noone had heard of it back then
Garden Organic (aka HDRA) cos you just have to if you're into organic gardening 
Derbyshire Wildlife Trust Because I used to volunteer there and I like to know what's going on locally World Development Movement Because I'm dead against water privatisation in poor countries and other subjects the WDM are really good at campaigning on. Never realised it was so many! |

You, of all people, let your HDRA membership slip? That's one I'm a member of, along with their heritage seed library scheme. |

Currently
CAT HDRA (sorry Garden Organic) I can certainly recommend membership of both the above oh, and the RSPB which is generally green in its outlook and means I also get free admittance to Conwy Bird Reserve whenever I'm passing. One problem with polls like this one is that you can seemingly only select one answer! |

Hadn't thought of that  Shall I take the poll out and we can just have a discussion about it, or do we think there's a value in the poll??

I joined Friends of the Earth because they seem to make the most difference at a national level. I thought about joining Greenpeace, but while I agree with a lot of the direct action they take, I think this might stop the government from listening to them. | ||

Garden Organic & thinking about CAT | ||
| trigfa |
I'd certainly recommend joining CAT. The magazine Clean Slate is usually interesting and the research work they've done over the years is certainly worth supporting |

None of the above but members of HDRA, RHS, Small Woods Association, BASC, yes they are a shooting organisation but do a large amount of conservation.
And Downsizer.net of course.

we belong to the woodland trust, support the towerhill stables animal sanctuary, redwings, the ilph, the moorland mousie trust and have bought goats for africa for 2 years running for world vision
that plus the fact that most of our 32 animals are rescued means i don't think we can do much more though i wish i could |

I haven't joined any really because I'm cautious about the 'extreme' side of things.
