I guess we've all seen it. 'An inconvenient truth', that movie by Al Gore. Sure, most people I talk to are still on some kind of denial. It’s not all that bad!. Admitted, I was one of those people. After viewing the tape a couple of times, it starts to eat at you. I’m not a tree-hugging hippie by nature so I have to force myself to change my behavior. I literally had to force myself to get rid of that 3.5 liter V6 American machine I was driving and trade it for a eco-friendly model. It didn’t do great things for my masculinity but you get the general gist of it.

Instead of getting hopelessly depressed over my eroding transportation image, I decided to launch a program gathering ideas on how we can help the planet and satisfy our growing IT and information hunger. And then suddenly it happened. Financial market collapse. Massive crisis. A good thing actually. If you still have a job and the philosophical perspective to view all this on an abstract level. Crisis’ happen, roughly every 11 years. The big surprise with this one was that it came 2 years to soon.

A crisis will help us in many ways.
