Copenhagen was a bust. Surprise!

While the "negotiators" at COP15 pat themselves on the back for their accomplishments, the rest of the world recognizes that traditional political processes are ineffective when time is of the essence.

So if you weren't clear about things, it's up to the people to lead the way. Yes, that means being the change you want to see in the world. Being green has always started at home: time to put your actions where your mouth is! Reduce waste, increase energy efficiency, raise awareness, start conversations. There's plenty to talk about: Peak Oil, the recent EPA determination that CO2 poses a public health risk, foreign oil dependence, the economic opportunities represented by a national push for green energy... to name just a few.

Let's move forward!
