Together we can make a difference. It's always been that way, always will....
It's important to view people as people, not as others, evil others, bad others, othermuckers....
Yeah, we've gotten ourselves into a real mess. It's complex, it's confusing. Over one-half of the world's biggest economies are corporations, not countries. Think about it, the implications are HUGE. Sure, there are some bad apples out there, but the majority are relatively innocent, caught in the machine. So many of us work for corporations. We cant simply dissolve corporations, although that might be a good idea for a few. Part of the problem is that we have created an insanely competitive system in which even the giants struggle for survival. Blame isn't going to help matters very much. Fortunately, there are plenty of good and smart people dedicated to making the world a better place.
A good example of environmentalists and capitalists working together can be found in the Forest Stewardship Council and the Marine Stewardship Council. Industry leaders of forestry and fisheries understood that a few bad apples could spoil things for everybody, so they enlisted the help of the World Wildlife Fund to help create viable solutions. It's a work in progress and your help would be kindly appreciated. Perhaps this and this will help.
