Start Now
Planet Earth is in trouble. The evidence is everywhere and all but overwhelming. We care desperately for the future of life on earth, but we feel helpless in the face of corporate disregard for anything but profit and governmental disregard of all but corporate interests. The power, we feel, is out of our hands, and environmental disaster is seemingly inevitable. Hopelessness has become our worst enemy.  Start Now stands against hopelessness.
