The above link is to a Yahoo article. I don't think the world is going to be able to accomplish this goal. I hope I'm wrong.

Though I agree that if people in general don't wake up & do something, individually as well as collectively, the future here on planet earth doesn't look so good, I think anything is possible, no matter how unlikely.

I guess sometimes I can be optimistic.

I guess one of the reasons I think it's important to stay optimistic in this case is that if people are convinced that it is hopeless, then it is less likely that they will actually try to do anything to change.
