This is a super cool video. I particularly like how it is framed as a "message to the next president of the United States." From GoGreenTube.

Be Brave and Inspire Us to Change!

tags: Climate and Energy, challenge, energy, garden, innovation

Stand up and remind the American people that we are a nation of tough, innovative, can-do individuals and not just a nation of mindless consumers who have nothing to contribute but our sales receipts. Be an example! Plant a Victory Garden, encourage carpooling, put solar panels on the White House, offer a prize to the person who redesigns Air Force One as the most fuel-efficient airplane aloft. Americans love a challenge, so challenge us! It would be a refreshing change from "fear-and-shop."
