People like to talk about how to fix global warming and peak oil.

Well, nothing can be done about either of these topics.

Humans are too invested is delusion and money to do a damn thing. And
to do anything substantive would cause a financial and population
backlash of unimaginable proportions.

Lets look at just 'a token move' in the right direction...a move that
wont fix a thing, but would buy us a little more time.

Can we cut back on GNP by 25%%?

Cut back on utility use at home by 25%%

Cut back on driving by 25%%?

Cut back on consumption whether it be food or hard goods by 25%%?

Cut back on interstate trucking by 25%%?

Cut back on air travel by 25%%

And cut back in all related areas that use energy or petrochemicals by
25%%?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

The 'public' gets their underpants in a bind when the GNP declines at
all...even when it is still in the positive numbers.

tooth paste? Really?

In any case, its true we are all guilty of indulgence,
I suppose what it comes down to is we need to use more organic
products since they are easily regrown.

but that is not our fault as much as the companies
-It is our fault for not boycotting until it happens
