I’ve been meaning to make a comment about this program from ABC News for the last 5 weeks. It is an overview of the things that might happen in this century as a result of the perfect storm of climate disruption, population growth and resource depletion.

I will grant you that it portrays a very dismal and potentially worst case scenario, and yet I ask you to watch it and tell me if you feel there is anything in it that is unrealistic. Do any of us think that the Colorado river is going to be able to provide water for 50 million people living in the desert southwest for more than another 20 years? What happens to Vegas and Phoenix?

The G-8 just put out a statement that it agrees we need to limit temperature rise to 3.6 degrees. Guess what? If that happens (the G-8’s best case scenario, mind you) Mexico is going to be a parched wasteland. Where are all those people going to go?

I’ll tell you the truth, I only watched the show until 2060 and I had very uncomfortable dreams for a week. Let me know what happens if you can stomach the whole thing.

In the meantime, we all have to get moving. Visit http://www.greencollareconomy.com to find businesses that can help your company go green and check out the ever growing list of white papers and case studies that will give you ideas of ways to go green that are practical and profitable.
