I'm trying to figure out a way to encourage people to take action now and live greener, any great ideas that has worked out there?!!

Though I am not sure if I am as pessimistic as he is. But we do need to stop puttong things on the back burner and start acknowleding what we really need to be doing. Even if it is hard to do. Sometimes the right things to do are the hardest, like dependancy on oil. The only way of truly limiting your impact when traveling is to walk!! But that is highly unlikely when people drive to the mailbox. Letterman is funny, however I believe he is right as well. Though I am not sure if I am as pessimistic as he is.

We have the technology and the knowledge...maybe China or India develop and implement the necessary solutions....someone needs to! Sustainability is about living within our means today AND planning for the future, so future generations can have a decent quality of life.

Green marketing is everywhere right now, but it doesn't seem like too many folks are actually changing their lifestyles. If anything, the best chance to stop global warming is the high price of oil. Folks will figure out alternatives just to make things cheaper and hopefully something will take off. Chris LEED AP <a>http://www.everblueenergy.com/<a> It’s sad but I fear Letterman is right.
