Call me a pessimist or a realist, but I do not see it happening. Our economy is tied to population growth. Until we get a handle on population growth, everything we do to conserve is just a band-aid. Imagine the impacts when you have to feed and provide water for another million or 10 million people in this state. We often post about conservation issues here but these are typically for incremental short term gains. Sometimes they are significant in our narrow view but we need a complete societal overhaul to save anything, even ourselves, in the long term. Maybe this is what you are referring to Dustin, but I do not see any evidence that it is going to occur. Most of the time it appears we (the human race) are singing merrily or squabbling about trivialities as the ship is slowly going down.
