Globalization = Global Warming

As posted on New York Times Science Blog March 31, 2007

This is actually an issue of greed and survival. Companies have to
make profit to satisfy shareholders...consumers have to deal with the
rising cost of living (health care, gas, housing). As the costs
increase, consumers are forced to look for cheaper products because
they have less cash. This recipe spells globalization.

Globalization = Global Warming

The solution: Individuals will have to answer the call to addressing
global warming one person at a time. And the way each one of us will
do it is entirely up to us as long as we do it. For me, I drive a
hybrid car, I recycle and structure my business to promote ideas and
groups who help this global problem. On an International policy level
it is harder because policy is controlled by politics. The current
shift towards a greener society is a result of individual action. The
reality is that we need to clean up our own mess and take
responsibility for what we (people in developed nations) started. We
started globalization. It's no different to a drug addiction. One day
at a time. Stop blaming others for the problem. Be a part of the
solution by doing something that works for you.

Corporations who are not adopting greener policy are losing market
share because consumers are supporting companies who do. Now let's see
if the politicians get the message. Power to the people.
