If only it were easier . . .

I was looking for info about hybrid cars and came across eartheasy.com. They've got all sorts of tips for energy conservation, from natural cooling to recycling to, of course, hybrid cars. Its great to see how you can use technology (or refrain from using it, by turning off lights you aren't using, for instance) in so many different ways to be more energy efficient. What strikes me is that many of the easiest methods to cut back on energy use also cut into the energy inefficient lifestyles so many people, myself included, take for granted. This leads to the hypocrisy problem--"Green" advocates who appear to be more about appearances and less about action. (Here's what I've come across lately: Teresa Heinz, Laurie David (producer of An Inconvenient Truth) and this.) But the Green Tech Revolution moves on.
