If I was a wealthy ecoterrorist, what could I do to best grab international attention and keep it?

Question

Grass roots eco-education to promote conservatism may be considered the ultimate aim, but too slow and cumbersome. Hijacking oil tankers etc endangers the oceans. Mandated legislation with penalties (eg. California) for breach works but is not uniform. Is there a way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels globally, and quickly?

Answer 1

You feel there is a difference between wealthy ecoterrorists and poor ones?  Why is that?  Is the same true for other types of terroists, or just the environmental ones?

Answer 2

self immolation?

Answer 3

Build a clean and self-contained/sustained town, bycycles, horse and buggy, solar power, no water in ventalated sewage tanks that do no leak, methane usage, reusable food containers, population limits, agriculture, modern aminities, lots of swimming and fishing holes with clean water, schools which teach environmentalism, playgrounds, etc., and with an emphasis on nature.  In short, make the place the way America should be built and would be built if it was run by people who cared.

Answer 4

Spread the technology to make alternate power (PV, biodiesel etc) and vehicles running on the same at lowest cost and you would kick the fossil fuels in their ****.

Thats a good kind of terrorism but needs lots of planning and preparation and money and discipline.

You will get a lot of negative attention too especially from those whose power and income will get adversely affected by such change.

Answer 5

go on the oparh show and tell her about what you would like to do or start

Answer 6

If you were truly wealthy, you would grab a huge amount of attention if you took down your own gigantic house and put up a self sustaining house instead and made sure all the press knew about it.  No need for terror acts.

Answer 7

Don't resort to terrorism.  This world has too much of that already.  If you were wealthy, you should use you're money to make a stand by setting an example.  Make you're house solar powered, make you're car electric and charged by those panels, help make other homes solar, ect.

Answer 8

You need to remember that not all attention is good attention. If the attention you get causes a backlash, then you have failed. At that point you have only brought attention to yourself, which is the point that most of them seek.
