7. He's right, ya know

It's like the Buddhist maxim, Change comes from within. I agree that we're basically on an unsustainable trajectory.

Bill Nye (the science guy) has been talking about this, too. He's very optimistic, though. His solution is to do more with less. So, yes, replace your lightbulbs. They'll save on your light bill and your carbon footprint, too. But we need to do a lot more than that.

It all starts with education, because cultural changes are probably best when they trickle up from our youth. That's what scares the right more than anything which is also why they are so opposed to anything that would improve it.

So we have to soldier on.
