The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (25 percent of BP is owned by the foundation - 7 million shares). I looked at this with horror as I realize that the key to self sustaining community successes have been tied directly to alternative energy sources. Solar-aid.org and others in Africa have created 'miracle' communities. The trickle up effect of green technology has been amazing. Yes - individual courage to stand and say no more. As most people will have to stand and say, it is enough and it begins with putting our resources in the right place and not just choosing a new place to fill up our vehicles. It starts with each other of us to turn off the pumps. Even in China we use solar energy...evehicles and e bikes are on the rise. We are the ones who have to be the architects of our future...not some big nameless corporation who seems to plot our doom.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090687138872179144noreply@blogger.com
