In these hard times, we need to husband our resources wisely. Talk is cheap, and yet very effective. Ideas are powerful. We empower our friends to action when we give them verbal and ideational tools. We still have freedom of speech in this country, and I think we should use it to the hilt.
Education is probably the most cost-effective solution to almost any problem.

We need a similar set of priorities for saving life on the Earth. It is not necessary to totally rebuild our physical environment, in order to begin having a large positive effect. A bicycle ride on one or both ends of the trip can make it even faster.
