Dear Obama, when will we finally do it?

We already have all the proof, all the info and all the resources. When will we do it? We don’t need to learn anything extra to accomplish it. When will we, collectively, stand up and say YES, TODAY WE WILL CHANGE THE WORLD FOR GOOD AND FOR ALL!

There are so many examples around to show that it can be done. That all our problems are self invented and self undoable. We don’t need BMW’s, iPods and Armani jeans. We need cheap green cars (only a matter of scaling), more people playing the guitar and singing on the streets and hemp trousers. These are all sustainable, higher in “enjoyability” and cheaper. We need decent education where children are not condemned based on their grades, but stimulated to discover, create and be bold. We need natural and healthy foods, sports, meditation and a holistic health care system for all. It would mean a happier planet, with about a fifth of the medical costs.

Obama, you are in a unique position and at a unique time. The system you inherited turned to shit. Now you have the hard task to make your citizens believe that it could all go back to normal. Instead of continuing on this path for a few more years, just change things for the drastic. Use economic measures of course. Don’t tax incomes, tax social and environmental damages. And tax damages done abroad. Tax the hell out of McDonalds and give healthy, organic fast foods a financial incentive based the amount of people they serve healthy food (because society is saving on medical costs if people eat better). SUV’s should pay double the price per gallon than a Fiat 500.

Obama, just do it! The beginning might be hard, but I guarantee you that you’ll win the biggest support any leader on earth ever had.
