Ecologistas en Acci\u00f3n es<\/strong> una confederaci\u00f3n de m\u00e1s de 300 grupos ecologistas distribuidos por pueblos y ciudades (en Espa\u00f1a). Forma parte del llamado ecologismo social, que entiende que los problemas medioambientales tienen su origen en un modelo de producci\u00f3n y consumo cada vez m\u00e1s globalizado, del que derivan tambi\u00e9n otros problemas sociales, y que hay que transformar si se quiere evitar la crisis ecol\u00f3gica.<\/p>\n

Para ello realiza campa\u00f1as de sensibilizaci\u00f3n, denuncias p\u00fablicas o legales contra aquellas actuaciones que da\u00f1an el medio ambiente, a la vez que elabora alternativas concretas y viables en cada uno de los \u00e1mbitos en los que desarrolla su actividad.<\/p>\n

La organizaci\u00f3n se estructura territorialmente mediante Federaciones y grupos, siendo estos la base organizativa y de toma de decisiones de la asociaci\u00f3n. Esta toma de decisiones descentralizada se basa en la Asamblea como \u00f3rgano m\u00e1ximo de decisi\u00f3n. Todos los grupos que conformamos la confederaci\u00f3n compartimos los mismos principios ideol\u00f3gicos\u00a0y nos reunimos en la asamblea confederal anual para decidir las l\u00edneas estrat\u00e9gicas de la organizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

La amplitud de temas que abordamos, nuestra apuesta por el ecologismo social y nuestra amplia implantaci\u00f3n territorial, nos lleva a contar con una\u00a0elevada diversidad interna, tanto en planteamientos como en perfiles de personas y formas de participar.<\/p>\n

El trabajo que se lleva a cabo en toda la organizaci\u00f3n se basa principalmente en el trabajo grupal y voluntario de socias, socios, activistas, colaboradores, simpatizantes, y en ocasiones personal contratado. Esta forma de trabajar no es sino un reflejo de la forma en que entendemos el mundo, en el que tienen cabida multitud de formas de hacer las cosas y de organizarse, desde la diversidad, el respeto, la horizontalidad y la coherencia.<\/p>\n

Ecologistas en Acci\u00f3n<\/strong> (Ecologists in Action) is<\/strong> a confederation made up of more than 300 different ecological groups located throughout Spain. As a part of the social environmentalism movement, they recognize that social problems, in addition to environmental ones, stem from a certain style\u00a0of production and consumption, each year more global, that needs to change if an ecological crisis it to be avoided.<\/p>\n

In their fight for change, Ecologistas en Acci\u00f3n\u00a0holds campaigns to increase awareness and issues public and legal complaints against actions harmful to the environment. They don’t just stop there, but\u00a0also work to come up with viable, concrete alternatives to better each of the areas in which they work.<\/p>\n

Federations and groups representing each region form the organizational basis of the association and make decisions affecting the group\u00a0as a whole. This decentralized decision-making process takes places through the Assembly. All parties involved share the same ideological principles and gather annually in a federal assembly to define the strategic course of the organization.<\/p>\n

The breadth of issues addressed, an investment in social environmentalism, and a wide geographical presence, allow for a high internal diversity in approaches, people involved, and forms of participation.<\/p>\n

Work accomplished by the organization is primarily done through group and volunteer work by partners, activists, collaborators, sympathizers, and occasionally recruited personnel. This form of operation is a reflection on the way the organization strives to understand the world. Its vision welcomes many different ways to work and get organized, but all emphasize diversity, respect, horizontal social relationships, and coherence.<\/p>\n
