The note I sent to The Carbon War Room
You seem to have all of the sectors covered, and you probably don't want to expand your scope but I think you're overlooking people and the choices they make all day everyday. I'm nobody from no where, but it seems like our problems are a result of the cumulative impact of the billions of individual choices the people of the world make, and it's really hard to make good choices these days due to the powerful marketing strategies out there. The success of our market economy is contingent on the individuals ability to make the best choices for their situations (see Wikipedia for 'homo economicus'). I think a service to help us with those choices would be helpful, say a 'homo economicus for the rest of us' service. It could potentially be more beneficial than all of your other efforts combined because I think it would create a market for the technologies you are trying to promote. What I'm talking about it a service which helps people with every decision they have to make in their daily lives. I'd probably market it as a 'Happiness Service Provider', to get broad appeal since Homo Economicus isn't something everyone would know about. Anyways, if you want to know more send me an email, I couldn't figure out how to become a member to 'join the conversation', and I wasn't quite sure which conversation to join anyway.
All the best!
