"Just merely stopping the sabotage of the planet would be welcome. . ."

The power to do this is with the people - putting your faith in one man leading the most corporate nation in the world is a at best a delusion, at worst an avoidance of our own personal responsibility to our planet and our fellow citizens.

You want to save the world? Don't buy an SUV, turn off the light when you leave the room, accept you need to pay more for your petrol, don't get in an aeroplane etc etc etc

What is needed is a fundamental shift in the paradigm of our relationship with the planet. Primarily governments need to drive this process, but ultimate responsibility rests with the individual. We all know what we need to do, and almost of us reading this board live in unregulated capitalist economies then we hold key to change, and who is running whatever country is irrelevant to a degree.

You'd be better off recognising your own divinity and stepping up to the plate on your own terms rather than expecting a politician of any persuasion to do it for you. It's nearly too late already - get on with it.
