Individuals AND Corporations

"It's a start, especially if it gets you thinking about everything else you do that is contributing to this growing climate crisis."

Individuals drive demand for sustainable products and sources of energy.  Individuals influence family, friends and community by example.  I agree, individuals can, collectively, have a huge influence on positive changes toward sustainability, but I think the main point of Mr. Tidwell's article is that we don't have the luxury of time to wait for everyone to fully embrace a sustainable lifestyle.  We need individuals who are already leading by example AND the government pushing for change, especially from corporations, to tackle this huge predicament we have gotten ourselves into.  Focusing too much energy on changing lightbulbs alone is like trying to get out from under $50,000 worth of credit card debt by making the minimum monthly payment.

I like amc89's list, especially 'Having less than 2 children (or none at all)'.  I just hope there won't be a surge in the 'Quiverful' movement: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20134584/On Voluntary actions didn't get us civil rights, and they won't fix the climate posted 2 years, 2 months ago 61 Responses
