I think that we're working on it. It's just that the U.S. is pretty money-driven, and until recently there hasn't been an economic imperative to cut down. I think we're starting to get there, considering how gas prices have fallen so much since demand has fallen. We want as much as we can for as little as we can, and so we have fossil fuel-driven agriculture and cheap goods made of plastic.

Many people do believe that, as our current VP Dick Cheney said, the American way of life is non-negotiable. In many ways our way of life is built on fossil fuels.

People have to be willing to make do with less, though most likely a less of a higher quality than the more of now. I think we're getting there. I just hope there is enough of a change before there is a economic, political, or ecological disaster.
