Does that knowledge translate into activism, financial support, or volunteering? Does it get you into a voting booth? Basically, how do you use the information that you gather?

i thought i was once
but now the more i get to know,
the more i realise that i know next to nothing
to some i may seem well informed
but then there are many who know nothing at all
but compared to those who are on the front line of new discoveries and privy to the latest data
i must be a simpleton.

I know enough to make a living in environmental protection as a portion of my job. That does not translate into activism, financial support, or volunteering. Also that is not the single issue that should be getting you into a voting booth.
Scientifically directed education and not fear mongering combined with meaningful and obtainable conservation and environmental protection is the path to least resistance.
I am old enough to remember when they burned smudge pits in the oil fields, that's where the residual crude was collected near the pump and twice a year they would burn about 10,000 gallons of crude, and there were hundreds of these pits in a county. Silver jewelry would turn black in a couple of days because of the sulfur dioxide in the air. Now those same by products are used to make plastics.
Change is happening in environmental sciences and policy but if you scare the public too much it will regress.

Yes, I am an activist, and a volunteer. I own a Freecycle(tm) group right here at Yahoo!. we help keep the landfills cleaner and aid in recycle efforts. Basically voting will not cause an immediate action. But taking immediate action does.
Join your local group. There are groups in almost every state county and city in the US and has spead worldwide.
Go to www.freecycle.org and find a group close to you and join. It is a place to keep usuable items out of the landfills. And it is all Free, FREE Magic word, everyone would like something FREE. And it is a place to be rid of your usuable items, and sometimes junk.

This summer so far I have single-handedly planted about 5000 trees to help reverse the effects of strip logging in Montana and picked up litter throughout Glacier and Yellowstone. Top that.

To answer your questions:
1) Very well informed
2) Yes, but not the way you might think
3) Absolutely, I make it a point to vote against any left wing nut job on the ballot.
