Aries from The Stranger
The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty designed to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases and thereby slow global warming. Though 157 nations have ratified it, a notable exception has been the United States, which is the planet's leading polluter. To their credit, millions of American citizens have launched a grassroots movement to rebel against the federal government's puzzling stubbornness. One hundred sixty-six cities have agreed to the Kyoto Protocol. I suggest you take a similar approach in your own sphere, Aries. When a powerful authority acts stupid or when a foggy bureaucracy threatens to paralyze progress, take matters into your own hands. Ignore the mediocrity at the top as you mobilize everyone else to do what's right.
