WorldChanging - Al Gore, the Nobel Prize and the End of the Beginning »

We came across an excellent article written by Alex Steffen of WorldChanging - Al Gore, the Nobel Prize and the End of the Beginning. He says:

Al Gore and the IPCC winning the Nobel Peace Prize symbolizes more than just a head-nod towards some eco-fad — it shows that sustainability has finally moved from the outskirts of activism to the most central halls of authority.

And:

Now we move from spreading the word to setting the agenda, from handing out pamphlets to drawing blueprints. The future we’re inheriting is broken. People all over the world know it. Now it’s time to design a future that works.

We agree with him, it’s time now to move from spreading awareness  to building our green future. Less individual small steps and feel-good actions. More collaboration with big plans, and concrete actions with monitoring of results.
