just too far out there... the notion that green Americans can fix global warming. This isn't "far out there" at all. One last time. The ~4% of Americans in the world population (and their cars, industry and lifestyles) produce 25% of the greenhouse gases. I don't know what the numbers are on oil consumption but I imagine they're similar, Wharfy may have them to hand. If America went green it most certainly would have a disproportionate influence to its population numbers, because it makes up so much of consumption. Besides, hopefully this would demonstrate a far better path than conspicuous consumption; remember, the American way is hugely influential. Maybe it could stand for something else?
