The obligatory "hello world"

You'd think with the way information moves so fast around the internet today that there would already be a huge influx of blogs and other sites helping show us how to take matters into our own hands with regards to leaving cleaner and more environmentally friendly lives. You'd think we'd be hearing about it every day, and not just on the internet - in newspapers, on TV, in classrooms. To a certain extent our society (and by that I mean American society) is becoming more and more aware of it daily, but I think we can all agree that not enough is being said or done. I think the media is primarily to blame for this, considering the clout they hold not only over the hearts and minds of the public, but over lawmakers and powerful businesspeople too.

Hopefully that's where this will come in. The philosophy behind my decision to write about these things is hopefully obvious, but I'm sure I'll expand on it more as time goes by.

I feel like most typical first blog entries are either some variation on "WHEEEE HELLO WORLD!" or a comprehensive list of everything that they (the author) would like to accomplish in his or her blog. I'm not going to opt for either strategy here, though.

I'd rather just get on with it.
