Actually conservation is a very quick way to make an impact and reduce our consumption. However, I think we need to look at the long term solution of how we create clean, efficient and renewable energy that can be delivered where needed for a low cost and high ROI.

We need an energy policy in the US right now. Our political leaders (and candidates) are clueless and are failing us big time. We need a visionary to get this moving now.

I agree with the need to create a long term solution. Of course, like you said, this requires some form of legislation or comprehensive energy policy. Perhaps the various online resources and websites surrounding the green movement in general should combine their efforts to get some of these issues on a higher political agenda.

Dear Jon,
That's right – I agree we need to combine our efforts where possible to create a greater political presence. As we bring on more and more members for our group, we'll be working to create dialogue with other thought leaders in this area, such as Al Gore, Vinod Kholsa, and so on, and our goal will definitely be to pull together as many resources as possible to make change.

Thanks for your participation – let's get even more people involved and make this happen!

Jon,
By the way, AdventGreen is very cool. I like the fact that a simple change (white background vs. black), over so many screens, can make a substantial difference.

Hello Jon,

I like your thinking. A little here, a little there. It's all about a fundamental change of consciousness: from blind consumerism, to awareness of all the little ways we waste.

May I suggest -- if you haven't already -- is to fax out a press release to various news agencies and news clearing houses. Who knows who will pick up on your idea and help get the word out to thousands. A little here, a little there.
