Hand wringing is not enough - results matter! Live your daily life as best you can, but choose one grand thing, dedicate you life to it and make it happen.
Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir one's blood and probably will themselves not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die. - after Daniel Burnham
Choose a big thing in a small place or a small part of the bigger world; save all of the trees is a lot next to you house, 1% of the your town's open space, 1% of your state's wild places or cut global warming 1%. It does not take many people doing 1% to change the world.
What will you do?
I am interested in seeing us adopt energy efficient energy controls for our homes. It is known technology that can reduce core home energy use by 50%. If half of US homes adopted efficient energy controls then GLOBAL green house gases could be reduced by 1%.
