I remember a heated family discussion in my youth, where I accused my parents for being responsible for destroying the Earth, depleting its resources and polluting the life supporting systems it carries. That was 20 years ago.
After watching An Inconvenient Truth, The Planet and Who Killed The Electric Car in recent months, the environmental conscience has once again awoken.
Two decades later. What has happened since then? How have I contributed to the improvement of Earth? Do I still have any rights to accuse older generations for a crime I now am an accomplice to?
I still feel an urge to do something, but I am also very much aware of the fact that my personal choices and actions matter very little on the larger scale necessary for change. Sure, the next car I buy will be one more environmentally correct than my current. But then again, what alternatives are there that really make a difference and still provide at least 500 km range?
