Roadshow will be at The Evolution Café in Florence at 6pm. following a tour of state lands threatened by clear-cutting. For information on this event email: enviroshow@valleyfreeradio.org<br><br><br>Last year, ex-Vice President Al Gore called the blockading of construction sites of new power plants as an appropriate response to the environmental crisis facing the planet. But this was no new mandate to Earth First!, who has been advocating grassroots direct action to protect and restore the planet for near 30 years. Earth First! was named in 1979 in response to a lethargic, compromising and increasingly corporate environmental community. Earth First! takes a decidedly different tack towards environmental issues using all the tools in the tool box, ranging from grassroots organizing and involvement in the legal process to civil disobedience and monkeywrenching.. <br><br>#####<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>***************************************
