Follow the people’s action

We need to distinguish between community disillusionment and a media storm (about cricket) and community outrage (about the environment), however hard the latter is to broadcast (Karen Joynes, Letters, April 7–13). Did you report the 10,000 people who marched through Sydney on March 24 over their concern for the environment? I love your paper but I have to steel myself each week to read it. Could you please include more articles on what people are doing to counteract the problems we mourn? Maybe if we hear more about action, in addition to your excellent analyses of the problems, we can help row against the current, or at the very least encourage those who have the vision and mettle to do so.
