Comment on "Time is of the essence at Cancun"(China Daily, Dec 10)

One of the main problems of the green movement is like what a Hollywood star once said about an unsuccessful movie: It is a failure of imagination.

Increasing taxes and issuing more regulations coupled with pictures of vanishing glaciers and melting permafrost are not the best way of promoting such a campaign.

People need to see concrete examples of how reversing ecological damage is possible. Maybe we should show the public what good could happen, not just what bad might happen.
