Take Action For Frogs: Your Inconvenient Truth

At this moment of planetary potential pandemic flu hitting the United States, and watching how all of humans' and Earth's man-made challenges are directly, shockingly, and (shouldn't be so) surprisingly inter-related, a potential, sensible, scalable solution can be found in a reset of how we treat ourselves in harmony with nature, not in some type of sick lose-lose competition -- especially again and again, from the accurately foretelling movie An Inconvenient Truth to this more recent article, regarding -- IF we will have the will to change -- our green friends the frogs. There is a powerful, even tangibly edu-taining scene in the movie showing an animated frog who senses a hot flash and jumps away, BUT if the heat is increased gradually, is lulled into false confidence, laziness, or whatever inertia until it is too late for survival -- and then the only hope is that an outside force for good would have to rapidly intervene to rescue the frog and snap it into action elsewhere. Sound too familiar, people?

For your own personal survival, if not for a higher calling, take action, now, on the we, not just the me (so to speak). Ribbitt! And seriously, thanks. When scientists almost universally agree that there is a CO2 in the atmosphere exponentially-rising emergency, but mass communications are manipulated so that more than half the public relations issued questions the legitimacy of the climate change crisis, even if you are skeptical (hopefully not) about the severity of global warming, the literal bottom line in business and more broadly, personal and family survival, is trust your gut, your inner voice that whatever the specific triggers, it is beyond doubt now that mass selfishness on the part of more and more humans mis-using limited resources is definitely setting in motion flus and other events that cannot be restrained if we together do not rethink the whats of life -- and definitely the hows.

This is a time for unity, for caring, for hope through faith. This can also be, around those enduring values, a time of real sustainable income-generating, doing well by doing good, exponentially green business and job opportunities. As the great New York Yankees baseball legend Yogi Berra said, "When there is a fork in the road, take it." Literally, let us pray for answers the only way they will work, going forward -- together.

Earth Day 2009 and beyond: YOUR CALL TO ACTION

No longer is the alignment of environmental protection and business development merely nice, or about global warming publicity or green consumerism, and renewable energy alone. Devastation in economic empowerment and employment (lost jobs) -- and public health -- from abusing our planet for too long, and its many "neighborhoods," including yours (!), is no longer isolated, or someone else's problem. This cannot be ignored yet again for one more day.

Whether it's the local Bay Area news reporting dangerous drugs and untreated sewage being illegally dumped in the San Francisco Bay, or this accurate, yet shocking in its accuracy (its cold, "dead zone" facts), Frontline television report on the equally substantial US East Coast Chesapeake Bay genuine crisis, please take this very seriously as your CALL TO ACTION, personally and for your families and our communities (not some distant, abstract ideas) before it is literally too late. Not being alarmist, but keeping it very real, this Earth Day 2009 must be only the moment in your life personally and ours when there is no turning back.

The environmental and economic interrelated "cancer" upon each and all of us is worse than the truly terrible Dust Bowl situation in the 1930's Great Depression years -- and yet today, as then, there might be survival IF we really stop sticking our heads in the sand, so to speak, and move as Americans beyond greed to exponentially green new opportunities to "profit the planet." Thank you.

The Year We Make Contact? A Space Odyssey Indeed.

We often believe when there is a disconnect between nice ideas and real world priorities, we see opportunities to "bridge the gaps."

Fact: In every aspect of our desires in our project, business concierge, and coaching work with "exponentially green" nonprofits and creative community enterprises, it is now possible to add value together -- to survive in tough times through thriving into the future...increasingly, which must be, for all of us, "now."

Here are brief Weblinks well worth your time. "This" is no longer "science fiction."

Are you ready?
