The Green Cow Manifesto
Coalition member Murray Schofield has answered our call for ideas to promote the Cause.
"Most people view cattle as destructive. Green groups have for years been telling them this, how cows ruin waterways, cause erosion, destroy county by overgrazing, huge amounts of methane into the air and the list goes on..."
The bumper stickers are handed out and direct people to a website where Murray hits them with 'REAL FACTS'about how cattle can heal the land, etc. The we direct them to drill down into other articles including testimonials from graziers/ranchers from all over the world - telling the people we attract about increasing biodiversity and the increase in native wildlife.
"Most people couldn't care less if you tell them how you can improve stocking rates or profits, but they do care about environmental issues, like climate change or wildlife issues," says Murray.
The controversial statement should attract attention from the media - giving the campaign a boost.
Some variations on the GREEN COW MESSAGE: "The Best Environmentalist I Know Is A Cow."
"COWS + GRASS + SOIL = NATURAL CARBON SINK"
"MAN CREATES CO2 NATURE CAPTURES CO2"
"CARBON A DIRTY WORD
ONLY IF IT'S IN THE AIR.
PUT IT IN THE SOIL
WHERE IT BELONGS"
