Does Echoes in the Blue criticise environmental organisations?
Maybe. That depends on your point of view, but it was not my intent. The book is written from several points of view, including those of a scientist and a “regular guy”. Their opinions may not always be in complete agreement with the beliefs or actions of some environmental activists, but as I have already pointed out the opinions expressed by any of the story’s characters do not necessarily represent my own – although they do span the large cross-section of beliefs that surround many environmental issues today. However, with that said I believe environmental organisations do play a part in the important role of alerting people to the important issues we all must face up to. Whaling is a problem that affects all of us, and we all have our own part to play however we think is best.
