Let's Change for Good!

OK The cat is out of the bag and it's time to get serious, anthropogenic (human) activity is wrecking the environment. A large portion of current human activity is systematically destroying our planet, period!!!

As much as this is a scientific issue it is more importantly a sociological issue. We have got to change our behavior pattern to one that considers the environmental impact of everything we do. Quoting from a writer in an article I recently was interviewed for, he states "It requires billions of people working together to make quadrillions of personal, greener choices". The concept of "Let's Change for Good" rings well for me. Our role as stewards of the planet and not exploiters needs to be taught at every level of human society from kids to corporations! We need to get sociologists and educators more involved, working side by side with our scientists. We need an educational curriculum in every classroom at every age, (starting in preschool) and mandatory environmental ethics education for all employees in our corporations. Out of the millions of species on the planet it's only one that needs to change. Us!
