Definitely inadequate. Most of the go green stuff has been carefully manufactured by the worst polluters pass the buck. However, in order to actually make a real difference, people's lives will have to change. We will have to drive less, eat less beef, and reduce our consumption in general.

If a large percentage of people can't even utilize resuable bags for their groceries we're already screwed. So much apathy and people not really committed to take even the smallest of steps to help our environment.
