The power of grassroot support!! (v1.0)
I have outlined many things you as an individual can do. All of these add up and gets multiplied across many people. However, when the grassroots support gets to a critical mass, wonderful things start happening in the political sphere, policy sphere, international sphere, and markets! Even if not organized in a formal movement, thousands of people making similar choices independently is electrifying!!
In a democracy, politicians represent the people and are attuned to their needs and opinions. When the critical mass is reached, they listen and take action - even if hard to do so. Policies then flow. International agreements are expedited and reached including with the lungs of the world countries to preserve forests. People accept policy decisions and agreements more readily even if not convenient for them. Policies like renewable energies gain steam in states which were dragging their feet before. Policies like less emitting transport options in a city or community can be triggered.
In markets, the support provides a natural demand side pull for green products. This causes suppliers to build green products and innovate. With demand, production ramps up, and costs come down. With costs down, pocketbook buyers now step in further swelling demand, and further increasing production and costs coming down further. It is a snowball effect on the market.
Did this motivate you to join the movement or sign up to support?
