The world evolves and revolves around leadership.  When leadership is poor, business and people tend to fail, and then business and people must evolve or relocate.  When  leadership is good, things evolve without failure. People evolve to preserve this experience. Today we must include environmental responsibility in our leadership skills, which more and more companies are proving can not only be survivable - but also highly profitable.

We can all be equally impressed with companies like Patagonia, Clif Bar, Bamboosa, WaterGirl USA, Brightworks and others who promote sustainability, and primarily, walk the walk.  A growing plethora of businesses and entrepreneurs are joining 1% For The Planet, an organization created to ensure fiscal stewardship. This is evocative leadership.  This is commitment as it should be.  This is called, 'getting it done'.

I recommend that business people spend a day reading Yvon Chouinard's book, Let My People Go Surfing, and then spend a day thinking about quality of life.  Quality based on experience of surroundings... sounds, smells, atmosphere, and joy in their real-world experience.  If it's not what you desire for yourself and not what others desire too, then search your soul and be fearless - discuss how you can collectively change, make a difference, give to a greater cause, and be a part of a livable now. Forget the future. We need to do our part today.

While Ford and BP could have good intentions, they will not make all of the necessary changes to curtail our climate crisis until there is policy mandating them to do so.  So, Congress, how about showing some leadership--or at least following your constituents--and enact legislation that will cut carbon while promoting clean energy and efficiency?
