HereToday asks:Are you more hopeful about the environment today than you were a year ago?

I just wish people would calm down about it. They seem to think that they have reinvented the wheel.

Huge yes for me and all because of Obama we finally have someone at the top who understands that good economy, security can go hand in hand with being 100% green...

I am a positive person and I do beleive that there are more and more people who are realising the urgency of the situation we all are in and how we all can really do something about it. But having said that, I also know that inspite of more people becoming aware of the environment crisis, it is not reall sufficient as they are not acting upon it. We need more actions not just knowledge.

The word is spreading, and more people are prepared to do a little bit to help. Imagine how much powerwe wouldsave if even just half of all households, installed one energy saving bulb?

20 years ago Newsweek and Time were running articles about the coming ice age and global cooling. So this new idea about global warming, that has already been put on hold by scientists, isn't a big deal.

I am more hopeful about the environment now because there seems to be more focus on it and more people tryint to take steps to protect it. But it's still going much too slowly for me.

I am think that I am more hopeful about the environment today because we now have an administration that does understand that changes need to be made. I am excited to see some of them finally come pass.
