we don't need perfection, we need to be 3% better every year

In his book "As the World Burns - 50 simple things you can do to stay in denial"



Derrick Jensen says

An Inconvenient Truth helped raise consciousness about global warming.  ... Even if every person in the United States did everything the movie suggested, U.S. carbon emissions would fall by only 22 percent.  

He then points out that the problem is currently growing my 2% per year.  

Therefore, if we, as individuals, can get 3% better each year, then we have a solution.

Sure, some people will want to do more, and that's great!  And some people will not change.  

I think that the beginning is to start to understand what things you can do that adds luxury to life and what is the tons of positive impact.
