The Green Man Collective is an informal, independent, local, grass roots and environmental campaign group which hosted on the internet at Yahoo Groups as a discussion forum and networking facility. Primarily, it is an environmental watchdog. It is composed of individuals or groups that are not compromised or prejudiced by other official/government agencies or organisations. It is concerned with all manner of environmental issues both locally and nationally. Its members may liaise, enter into dialogue with other public, private and voluntary sector organisations to highlight concern over plans, strategies and policy. It has a non-political, democratic platform and its members may meet informally as and when they see fit to discuss any specific issues, plans and strategies being proposed or considered that affect their quality of life, all sentient beings and the environment. • Membership is open to any individual on recommendation or referral from an existing member. You must have a proven track record or strong interest or commitment to environmental campaigning.
