Another year has passed....

We started the new century with hopes and dreams, of a peaceful present and a hopeful future. Sadly, each passing year has been bloodier than the previous. Combined with the relentless onslaught of natural disasters and the threat of global warming, the world that our children will inherit is a dysfunctional, damaged, hurting, violent place. Is it fair? Is it pardonable?

This is why i am really looking forward to the new year. Hopefully, it should be a new dawn, with new hopes for peace, everywhere. The shift of power in the US offers great possibilities and if well utilized, could restore America's rightful position in the world. Companies are slowly realizing that profitability and environmental responsibility are not mutually exclusive ideas. Technological advances could bring us closer to the dream of total reliance on renewable energy. We can always hope, and we can always pray....we do not have a choice.
