dedicated to the promotion of urban environmentalism

Never thought I'd be agreeing with Governor Schwarzenegger, but I'm not only agreeing with him, but cheering him on. (transcript here: http://huff.to/9qfRz0) He basically is calling out the corporate interests of those lobbying against Prop 23, a proposed global warming law. He correctly states that they are putting profits first, above all. Any statements about wanting to protect the people or the environment is just lip service. As we learned (again) with the BP spill, companies would rather pay fines than do the right thing from the get-go. Greed is too entrenched in the system.

Changing the corporate system needs people to serve as watchdogs and praisers; it needs people within the business system changing the metrics by which success is measured; it needs government encouraging or punishing as needed. Most importantly it needs all of us to change our thinking. Greed is not good. There will be enough if we share. The size of one's bank account/paycheck/bonus is not an accurate measure of her value in the world. We are all equal. We should be all working to make life a bit better for our neighbor, our neighbor's neighbor and our future neighbors we will never meet. What part are you willing to play?
