The effects of climate change, peak oil and toxic production are here. We know it every time we see news of weather disasters and disappearing species. We feel it every time we buy gas. We hear it every time a child uses an asthma inhaler.

Solutions are here, also. But meaningful changes are being stubbornly ignored by government, big business and big enviro:

• A genuine effort at reducing greenhouse gases would require food to be grown within 100 miles of where it is eaten.
  
• A serious climate change program would stop funding the 800 military bases which ensure a continuous flow of oil to the US.
  
• The most energy efficient homes are homes that have no heating system at all.
  
• The most energy efficient cars are those that are replaced by trains, buses, bicycles or feet.
