At work I get a chance to talk to people who are the state leaders of the green party, I have a customer who’s an engineer designing stainable homes and green houses, and all kind of other activist, one thing we’ve talked about is how to share ideas with other people. There’s lots of interesting ideas in your article, but the last thing someone want to be sold on is a problem, You’ve a long list of what you believe to be wrong or backwards, you can’t expect people to get excited about getting a new problem. To be a better article you need to provide people with solutions, and these solutions should be flexible so people can chose their own course of action.
