Remember!
• Peamisteks Eesti metsaprobleemideks on üleraie, lageraiekesksus, metsaliikide olukorra halvenemine, looduskaitsealade kahjustamine, kogukonnametsade hävitamine, pühapaikade rüüstamine ja kuivendamine.
• Sõnumit jagades väldi liigset emotsionaalsust ja raevukust.
• Ole vestluskaaslase suhtes lugupidav ka siis, kui tema arusaamad on Sinu omast erinevad. Uute ideede vastu võtmine on mitmejärguline protsess. Ära ärritu sellest, kui vestluskaaslane jääb Sinust erinevale arvamusele.
• Mõttevahetusse laskudes ära lase end vaigistada väitega, et Sa pole valdkonna spetsialist. Toetu kvalifitseeritud metsaspetsialistide artiklitele ja uurimustele, mis Sinu seisukohti kinnitavad.
• Anna metsakaitsepetitsioonidele allkiri ka siis, kui Sulle tundub, et neist “pole midagi kasu” – tegelikult võib petitsioonide mõju ilmneda üldisemal viisil, kui oskad oodata, ja iga allkiri aitab seda mõju suurendada.
• Julge oma meelsust näidata! Meele avaldamine on rahva võimalus oma hääle kuuldavale toomiseks.
• Jää viisakaks ja säilita enesekindlus ka siis, kui teisiti mõtlejad Sind isiklikult ründavad või enesevalitsuse kaotavad.
