can we as regular citizens bring about this change and demand that we stop wasting natural resources and look to use alternative energy sources? It's simple, really. We need to lobby for change.

When it comes down to it, it's our plantet. We only get one go around. If we don't make a change in how we use our resources sooner, rather than later, it's going to be too late. It's our responsibility to our planet to conserve what we have and use it wisely.
