Quite frankly, environmental issues arn't a quick fix. Its slow, its boring but it has to be done.
It starts by turning off your house lights when you arn't home, turning down the heat when you arn't there, walking to market rather then hopping in your SUV to drive 5 blocks, taking public transit rather then flooding the Deerfoot. The next time you buy a car, but a fuel efficient car - or even consider an electric car - instead of a gas guzzling SUV. (You don't need to get rid of your truck right away or anything, but take this consideration the next time you buy a car.) For more drastic measures, installing solar panals if it makes sense. Recyling. Little things that don't take much effort, and bigger things if you can. I'm honestly amazed by some of the ignorance showed by some here sometimes, as I said earlier this thread, Canada is actually one of the more wasteful countries in the world and thats got to change.

Good post, and props for realizing that not everyone can go out and buy a more fuel efficient car tomorrow.
I'm inclined to believe that little by little, people WILL get it. Especially if it benefits them to be more environmentally friendly.
