As individuals we also have to walk the walk if we want to talk the talk... small changes = big impacts.

Obama is certainly in a pickle. At least he's getting the US back in global climate talks – that's obviously a step in the right direction. Speaking of -we shouldn't stop working at our local level just because world leaders are making speeches :-) http://www.tictacdo.com/ttd//Apply_green_trends_in_your_workplace The web is filled with great suggestions on how we can help on the microlevel.

Poverty will only increase with overpopulation. Fewer people are needed to produce the technology that we all use. Perhaps a billion scientists would do! But beyond that, overpopulation is the world's top environmental issue, according to a survey of the faculty at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) published in Science Daily April 20, 2009. "Overpopulation is the only problem," said Dr. Charles A. Hall, a systems ecologist. "If we had 100 million people on Earth - or better, 10 million - no others would be a problem." Current estimates put the planet's population at more than six billion. Other faculty at ESF said:
There are some suggestion for reducing poverty and overpopulation in the popular free ebook series “In Search of Utopia” (http://andgulliverreturns.info) but some other information can be found in http://overpopulation,org. But what politician will attack the root cause of most of our planetary problems? And who in the electorate would support a program to reduce population and poverty?
