What's more is that, since I took an interest in the environment about 20 years ago, I haven't felt very optimistic. Of course global warming has since become apparent and the growing urgency is awakening many fellow globe dwellers from their apathy. However, what heartens me most is to realize that the big players, the money makers, can now see that action is in their best interest too. And since they are the holders of so much power, my pessimism has been given fair notice. Thank you.
