It's hard to believe we have reached the point we have today. Although I do believe we can restore our planet to some degree, and do not think it is possible to reverse our mistakes. But, as you said, I will never stop fighting -- and encouraging everyone I know to do their part, as well. We CAN improve our situation; however, one of our big setbacks is that not enough people want to, or understand why we HAVE to. That is why it is so important to raise awareness, so thank you -- and good luck -- for producing a film on the topic. To Dave,

I was really struck, and saddened, by one statement: "No, we cannot return the earth to a state of prosperity; it is too late for that. We can, however, stop ourselves from plummeting so quickly." My intellect tells me this is true, but my spirit refuses to give up. I do believe heroic efforts and incredible changes will have to take place if we are to end the decline (let alone begin the repair). But I refuse to go down without a fight. That's why I'm producing a film about the cultural roadblocks preventing us from becoming a sustainable society. My hope is that people like you, and me, and Margaret Swedish can make - eventually - a big difference!
