Signing on-line movements works. Seems like it couldn't, but it does. It can succeed in days where governments take longer if they will do it at all. Avaaz.org is probably the largest, 32 million members from all over the world. We, (we cause I use it every couple of weeks) have stopped all kinds of corporate shit against people and the environment, we have freed all kinds of political prisoners, forced lots of countries to enforcing or enact laws to protect women, animals, the environment. NRDC is also very affective, Sierra club, there are lots. And sometimes, for your 3 minutes invested, it works.
Recently Disney took a contract from the coal industry to make coal into another loveable marketable kid propaganda shmuck. They put on a kind of road show with teams traveling the nation visiting grade schools with heart warming good news adventures about coal. Well, it's fucking goofy, but after only 71,000 emails, I was one, Disney shut it down, called its teams home and dumped the happy cartoon handouts.
NRDC National Resource Defense Council is the most successful of the environmental groups in the US, also they have an excellent record of influencing industry, or if need be fighting them. Help out, or Avaaz.org.
Look, someone has got to protect Goofy, he doesn't deserve this.
Tenacity thy name is the yellow fringe!
