Engage the Brain before the Drain (on energy)

Yesterday I was listening to a webinar with regards to an organization in Canada. Their mission is to educate children (and adults) on smart environmental choices. I'm not sure what the source was for the statistics but I find these frighting:

A child born today by the age of 9 will see 1.3 million kilo's of forest disappear.
By age of 17 will see water and food scarcities.
By age of 35 will see 25% of current animal life be extinct.

These are not my statistics but can we please be smarter about the contamination of the earth, reduction of CO2, reducing wood demands, reducing water consumption, stop chemical proliferation just to name a few. If we do not get smarter we will kill mankind.
