The issue isn't about you or me, we will not see sufficent degradation of our habitat (if we are lucky). The issue is about our children and espicially their children. Going back to my origional post, you and I as individuals can only do so much, but the companies that we work for can do much more than any one person. I, for one, understand that there will be some who are set in their ways (like you), who refuse to acknowledge numerous studies that indicate our human effect on the environment. That is fine, those of us who are progressive thinkers and who care about the world we leave to our children will push on in spite of those with your viewpoint. And we will try to make the corperations that we work for be good citizens of planet earth as well.
