They have a make or break chance to rescue the planet. Remember...keep the Earth clean...it's not Uranus. Sorry, I couldn't resist that. The future is in the twentysomething generation.

In the nicest way possible, many of the folks I know want to spend their "off time" watching tv or otherwise sitting around rather than being actively productive. On another green note, the waste we produce as a society must be curbed. The race from natural resource to landfill is simply ludicrous, but ah, it's how our economy works! This is so apparent in the holiday celebrations: wrap the cheap plastic toy from China up in virgin fiber paper, rip it apart and straight into the garbage it goes followed a few months (days??) later by the toy itself. Something as simple as composting will make such a huge difference in our waste stream and it has a beneficial use: growing food! Take supposed waste and make it into a resource! And yes, innovation in the energy sector will hopefully be stimulated by the new president. More will be revealed... Thanks for posting :)
