I agree cent-per-cent with this article - The Story of Change - Why Citizens (not shoppers) hold the key to a better World), by Annie Leonard. Annie has hit the nail on it's head by saying "...... our citizen muscle has gotten flabby. There’s no marketing campaign reminding us to engage as citizens. On the contrary, we’re bombarded with lists of simple and easy things we can buy or do to save the planet, without going out of our way or breaking a sweat."
Citizens have forgotten their responsibility as true "citizens" - may it be living in an environmentally sustainable manner, speaking up against injustice, mis-governance, corruption, etc.
Let's be the change we wish to seen in our World. Let's lead by example.
Regards.

I agree. This little fishing village and it's town square right on the water are beautiful. The old church right on the square one of my favorites in Italy.
