Thanks, guys, and you know—I actually agree with Gore about the optimism. It seems like a movement just has to become trendy in order for people to finally get active. And “green living” is about the biggest trend out there. Hopefully my great-grandchildren WILL read about a massive, history-making switch to clean, renewable energy and think “Weird. You guys used to do it a different way?!?”

Kind of like the way I view women’s lib, and the way my gender didn’t used to have property rights or the right to vote. I can’t imagine living that way, but I can read about it.

I can’t begin to tell you how inspiring and well written this post is.
You are such a “breath of fresh air” in this world where so many people do the things that are easiest.

Thanks for setting the example.

Wow! What a thoughtful and inspiring post. I often worry about the world we are passing on to our children and grandchildren – particularly as you point out, in the quality of the air they breathe.
Hope this gets some people motivated to do something about it!!
