Why "Solutions News"? Because it's time we started talking about the real solutions to society's problems, not just the problems alone. And because many solutions - to educating children (and re-educating adults), to our healthcare crisis, to global warming, and to the challenge of international terrorism - actually do exist. Some exist in practice and others in theory. But they have - many of them - been figured out. They just aren't on the public's radar screen...not yet.
I am committed to seeing that the solutions that exist get on the public's radar screen. I am committed to seeing that the public at large - in America and the rest of the world - finds out just how much better our world can be. Because, once the peoples of the world realize how much better their world can be, I am convinced they will demand that their leaders give them that better world. And because - 21st Century capitalist that I am - I am convinced there is more money to be made than almost anyone can imagine from building the better world that we have the ability to build...the better world that is out there waiting to emerge - like the Phoenix - from the catastrophic beginnings of the 21st Century.

Going Green: In this introductory post, I offer the brilliant analysis of Tom Friedman regarding why the Green Revolution is critically important to our future. While Tom includes the obvious Global Warming perspective on why "going green" makes sense, he goes way beyond that to include Global War on Terrorism and Global Economic Competition perspectives as well. I invite you to consider this multidimensional perspective, which I believe makes "going green" the most obvious course change since Bill Gates changed Microsoft's strategy after realized that using the Internet was an important new trend.
