I just finished reading the article Al Gore wrote. http://acp.repoweramerica.org/rollingstone
EVERYBODY WAKE UP!!! How can you live each day knowing each wasteful action you take is directly contributing to killing the planet? The guilt and shame should be overwhelming and enough to make us change -- but it isn't. For myself the feeling of powerlessness is growing in proportion to the corruption of the world. My choices are hard, it usually requires me to do the more difficult thing, or the more labor intensive thing. You know, that's really not too much to ask, because after all what else do I have to spend my time on - this computer? In the long run the choice is easy if you think it through. Take a good look at reality. Really take a hard look at the truth of your life. And, please make every effort you can because this beautiful planet is worth it, even if our species is not.
