Maybe that's just me, though. Maybe we need a good mixture of condemnation and joyful alternatives. For much of the energy issue, there are many mainline organizations that are advocates. Even the World Bank accepts the idea of a modest carbon tax, even if the US Senate does not. I agree that a wide variety of issues need to be addressed, but individual behavior can't be overlooked.
Individuals drive the system.
I t's a slow and painful process to try to get the rest of the world to change the way you or I think it should. But if we each could better understand our own relationships with the material culture, we could start incorporating those changes right now. We need people to 'come out' and declare that they are seeking to reduce their impact on the earth, to make a 'pledge' to do this. These same people need to celebrate their identity as living gently on the earth and be seen to be living well in 'learning, love and laughter'. Loggers, for example, and all those who work in extractive industries.
