The ecosystem-directed focus around us is currently undergoing another shift in the battle for waking up the world community to the reality that unless we go green, really green—DO something to save our environment— we’ll end up in a dead stop at the red light, and call it quits for the 7 billion of us on planet Earth.
This focus is now is no longer on the level of awareness on what is happening and what could happen tomorrow to our entire planetary ecosystem if we neglect our environment. Such a general awareness has been ramping up in the past decade. There is no segment of the information stream all over the planet that does not touch on saving our environment—the search for alternative power sources that do not ravage the environment, the adaptation of infrastructure systems that integrate the non-destruction of nature, and the management of the monstrous levels of waste that is inevitably a by-product of the industrialization of most of the world.
