Global-warming fight goes grass roots

From Blood, the csmonitor.com: "They're setting up the policy that will play out post-Bush to move the country more toward Kyoto or something like Kyoto."

The UN Conference that happened in San Francisco, which I unfortunately could not attend because of the trip to China--a trip that enlightened me as well as confirmed my suspicions--has invigorated efforts toward the environmental movement.

They have localized policies, allowing decisions to be made at grassroot level. The network of people can often allow better communication than chains of commands. The federal government should be able to provide such network, but politics often get in the way. Now this grassroots effort should do what President Bush would not, and most likely could not, because not only of the lobbyists and special-interests organization of automobile and energy industry but because changing the habits of mainstream America is a task best left not to policies that expensively enforce the law, but to enthusiasts that hope to change the heart and mind of America one by one.

Let the hygridders unite.
