- Most Green Party activism that I know of attempts to avoid explicitly
- environmental labels. The Green Party USA addresses a wide spectrum
- of issues. Environmental activism is important, but it is still one
- of many important issues. I would agree that the usa part is
- inappropriate. I would like to get input from around the world and
- this would discourage that input.
