Nice article Bill. The conversation around climate change has become increasingly urgent, as its effects are now more visible than ever. The sight of apocalyptic fires and the ongoing mantra of drill drill drill on fossil fuel extraction starkly highlight the trajectory the world is on. These are merely the warning signs of more catastrophic events to come. Unfortunately, many leaders remain preoccupied with playing the blame game instead of confronting the crisis head-on. It is shocking to see how the new President is cancelling leases on wind farms, it is so obvious how strong the lobby for the oil companies is and how his campaign was funded. Looking up to the government to find solutions does not seem to be solving any problems, rather creating more. Empowering individuals to take charge is a powerful way to drive change in the face of inaction by leaders. Companies respond to market demands, and if consumers reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, the incentive for drilling diminishes. But how many are ready to reduce their consumptions?
