Talk:Petra Kelly

Green Ban
EnvDecisonMaking (talk) 13:29, 21 September 2011 (UTC) a Masters student team from the Graduate School of the Environment at Macquarie University, Sydney Australia has inserted a link to the wikipage for the 'Green Ban'(union and resident coalition environmental movement) to highlight the influence that Petra's visit to Sydney during the early 1970's had on her to decision to return to Europe to establish the German Green Party. We will undertake further research to also establish if she had direct contact with any Australian union leaders during this time.EnvDecisonMaking (talk) 13:29, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Reinclusion
This can go back in the article, when properly attributed, like the Dalai Lama blurb.


 * untiring worker for a just and peaceful world

Anyone know who said it? --Ed Poor

I sem to recall reading an account that Kelly was the original author of the Four Pillars. Can anybody confirm or deny? Thanks.

The phrase "untiring worker..." is (without writer's name) at http://www.rightlivelihood.se/recipients.html

The Dalai Lama's quote is included in the Kelly's posthumous book "Thinking Green" (Parallax Press, Berkeley, California, 1994).

There is extensive information in the biography "The Life and Death of Petra Kelly", by Sara Parkin (Rivers Oram Press/Pandora).

The Four Pillars of green movement are mentioned in this last book. Kelly, as prominent green leader, was of course very active in the discussions when the four pillars appeared (around the green congress of January 1980), but this book does not say if they were her initiative or a team work maybe, I don't know. I suppose that probably other sources clarify this point.

Open letter to the German Green Party
JDAKINS quote of James Page's misrepresentaion of Kelly's Open Letter to the German Green Party is not WP:NPOV. Her struggle to reform the German Greens is worthy of inclusion, but this isn't it. Chrismaltby (talk) 10:54, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Sources of Inspiration: Henry David Thoreau
It's rather strange, that even the German WP does not mention Henry David Thoreau. She herself pointed to him quite frequently. I think it's quite important since that's an essential part of what she brought to Europe from her youth in the U.S. - Sorry, that I can't provide the sources myself, but I read it many years ago in an essay of hers, where she lays out her philosphy. - Would be great if somebody could do so. -- CaffeineCyclist (talk) 15:34, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Member of Social Democrats
Prior to joining the Greens, she was a member of the Social Democrats (SPD) and served as one of its members in the German parliament. Bostoner (talk) 01:07, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

External link to interview on nuclear policy?
Would an interview with Petra Kelly from 1986 be useful here as an external link? Focus of conversation is nuclear weapons policy. http://openvault.wgbh.org/catalog/V_1BDBA12B806E409FB7545AFDCF19CDA1 (I helped with the site, so it would be conflict of interest for me to just add it.)
