Reply #29: I'll bet he would disagree.

I'll bet he'd say his attitude has a lot to do with where he is. But what I was refering to is Al Gore's approach in his movie. He presents problems, he presents solutions and hope. The balance is why it is effective. People have been griping about the environment for years, but the really effective things I have seen are solutions. Things like recycling.

The world is miserable already, they don't need to realize it. Its already there. What the world needs is inspiration, hope, and direction. I am so fucking sick of people going around yelling "wake up" as if there is going to be this big miracle and all the sudden everybody will know what to do. Giving direction and action are so much more effective. You can try and fail to make a conservative agree with your environmentalist worldview all your life, but at the end of the day its not that hard to get him to buy energy efficient light bulbs, or consider buying energy saving appliances. direction, direction, direction.
