...but how many are actually doing something? Not just recycling trash and using fluorescent bulbs, but making serious hard core radical lifestyle changes?

It's great to cast blame on conservatives and corporations and governments for causing this mess, but if you burn oil, over consume, and otherwise live like everyone else, you're participating.

I'm not trying to cast aspersions, because I'm no saint either. I do what I can, but it is hardly enough. The problem strikes at the core of our society and how it is constructed, which is why we keep going down this path.
