| Very good points from everyone.
I fear that the personal changes it would take from people on an individual level are sacrifies that few are willing to make on their own. Take a look at the recent spike in gas prices for example and the following of people who traded in their gas guzzelers for something more economical. They did so because it was hurting their pocket book, not because they really cared to make an effort to better the environment.
I would like to be optomist about people in general striving to make a change here, however, am doubtful. Out of sight, out of mind, and I think until it really hits them hard right in their own homes, few will strive to change anything if it's not a must for their daily lives. |
