I'm pretty pessimistic at this point. Every day it seems that I read about something else (usually several things) that makes me think it's way too late to save our environment, our culture, or our government. Anyone who tries is a saint, but the morass is too deep; our economic system would have to be completely dismantled, and our entire society would have to be dug up out of the ground in order for this mess to be fixed. And most people refuse to believe there's a problem in the first place.

What I do believe is that people who are aware of some of the problems have to do something constructive with that knowledge, even if it won't ultimately have the effect of saving our species from extincting itself.
