I think that most people know that our nation is in a bad way, and that "business as usual" politics is a large part of the problem.

I also think that environmental issues can provide areas of common ground. They can, of course, be divisive -- for example, the hydrofracking issue appeals to people's fears and greed. But there is always negative potentials that are roughly equal to the positive potentials of these issues.
