can green tech save the earth?

When joining the Green bandwagon, take notice of who's driving and where they're taking us. I did a double take while reading news of dow chemical's solar roof shingles, remembering the corporation's historical impact on the environment. Silly me. Of course corporations will not save us, nor lead us to a Green planet. We need more than gadgets and consumer items. We must act. We must embrace personal responsibility and extend loving compassion to ourselves, others and the earth.

Otherwise, in 20 years, we'll end up right here where we started, fighting the Hydra.

Get this: consumers who buy green feel entitled to cheat because of perceived accumulated good karma. Ultimately, the shift must occur within each of us. John Q. Public must choose to prevent his car from leaking oil of his own free will, because he understands the cost of not doing so to himself, humanity and the earth. Only then will we live harmoniously with nature.

Harmony must also be achieved within the financial sector, governance, etc.
