That's the question being asked at hopenhagen.org. And hundreds of thousands of people from around the world have responded.

Hopenhagen is a call to action for world citizens concerned with the environment. The site asks users to sign a petition that will be presented to the leaders of over 192 countries in Copenhagen this December - during the United Nations Climate Change Conference. It urges them to take definitive actions for a cleaner, more sustainable way of life for all of us.

When you sign the petition, you are also asked to add your message of hope to the map.

So, make your voice heard and tell the world what gives you hope.

Me? I said, "Green is Universal gives me hope". I know it's very corporate line-ish, but it's the truth.  I see the changes we've been able to implement on a corporate level since we started this initiative over 3 years ago and it gives me hope that we've cleared the path for not just other entertainment companies to follow, but individuals through out the country.  If a company as large as NBC Universal can shift its efforts towards greener, cleaner business solutions then we can all make choices that add up to make a big difference.

Pierce Brosnan, Wilmer Valderrama, and Edward Olmos are just a few of the celebs featured in the video below, which was created by the Sierra Club. They congratulate our newly elected Pres, and then share some of the goals that the Sierra Club would love to see him accomplish during his presidency.
 

From Environmental Leader:

GE and Google will lobby together in Washington D.C. for renewable energy and are collaborating on advanced energy technologies - including the development of a smart grid.

"Our goal is to provide consumers with improved and expanded energy choices, whether it's buying renewable power, driving a plug-in car, or reducing energy bills by managing home energy use," the companies said in the announcement.

Have you ever been to your grandmother's house and seen kitchen appliances that she bought in the 50s that are still kicking?  And what's more, they don't seem like they are going anywhere too quickly.  After I bought my own home a few years ago and started buying newer versions of these appliances I couldn't help but notice the difference between what I was buying and what I had seen growing up with Grandma.  I kind of assumed that since my products had been outsourced to developing countries so that I could buy them cheaper, that was the reason and left it at that.

NBC Universal's push toward green business is sweeping over its newsgathering operation.

During Monday morning's "Today" show, the network is scheduled to take the wraps off what it calls the "mean green streaming machine," a hybrid SUV that leaves less of a footprint as it collects and transmits news from the road.

The white and green Ford Escape hybrid uses not only electric and gasoline power but also solar panels and wind turbines to recharge the batteries for its electronics gear.

The "winner" of this year's presidential contest will inherit the world's toughest job at one of the toughest times in U.S. history. Today's challenges would intimidate even our greatest leaders.

The occupation of Iraq will drag on. Carbon emissions will continue to super-heat the atmosphere leading to ever-unpredictable (and deadlier) weather. Rising energy prices could slow economic growth while inflating the cost of everything.

Fortunately, both Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama are promoting one solution that offers good medicine for the economy... for the Earth... and for U.S. foreign policy.
