Top 10 Green Ideas in 2007

Time has posted a bunch of top 10 lists, including the Top 10 Green Ideas list. Here's how they see things:

  • The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
  • The U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP)
  • The Green Supply Chain
  • Avoided Deforestation
  • Green-Collar Jobs
  • Plug-in Hybrids
  • E-Flex
  • Congestion Pricing
  • Carbon Capping
  • Geo-engineering

I would have liked to see these ideas:

  • Live closer to where you work
  • Virtual office
  • 4 day work week
  • Walkable neighborhoods
  • Tax credits for residential solar

Time's list doesn't ask the reader to change behavior. It implies that "Green Ideas" are going to rescue us from our energy problems. Not really, but I guess it reads well ...
