how cool is that! lebone solutions is beginning to change the system of how we do things around the world, exactly what friedman argues must happen. friedman says that if we keep consolidating our efforts to be green on just recycling or just switching to energy saving light bulbs, as great as these things are, it will not change do what is exactly necessary to keep us from ruining our planet. what we need is a change in the SYSTEM. we need ordinary people to be able to do extraordinary things. and lebone solutions is doing just that! america must be the leader in this movement or else we're going to be left behind by china or india who discover these technologies later for cheaper and blow us out of the water. seriously, read friedman's book now.
