There are some days when I don’t think we are going to make it. I focus on positive things, I work towards positive things, but when you look at the whole picture you can’t help but be downtrodden some times. John Doerr (a very rich venture capitalist), thinks that we might not make it. He is concerned that all the eco-miracles that we have preformed so far, are just a drop in the bucket. He worries about the future for his children. He has the capital and the wherewithal to do something about it. His investment group is going to be spending hundreds of millions of dollars to deal with global warming. While the government (our government) is spending a paltry sum (less than Exxon makes in a day).
If this video did anything it should spur you to act, contact your elected representative now and let them know that you are scared about global warming, and that you want them to make policy to fight it. You don’t need hundreds of millions of dollars to make a difference, in fact the power of a well organized group of poor people is just as mighty as one or two really rich lobbyists. It’s our planet, lets fight for it.
