After reading the Four Challenges of Sustainability, I couldn't help but relate it to the current events the world is facing at this time; War, anarchy, natural disasters and nuclear problems. In the reading Orr quoted Thomas Homer-Dixon's "ingenuity gap," meaning our problems will eventually overrun our problem solving capacities. I truly believe that for us to transition to a more sustainable lifestyle we need to let our governments know that we will not stand by and watch the world crumble. I think that if we as citizens stepped up and showed the big government that people still had the power, the big wigs would do what was necessary to make the world a better place.
