“I don’t think we’re going to make it,” John Doerr says, in an emotional talk about climate change, investment, social responsibility and love.
Inspired by his young daughter, who said “Your generation made this mess, and you better fix it,” he and his partners at venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers embarked on a green tech world tour — surveying the state of the art, from the ethanol revolution in Brazil to Wal-mart’s (!) eco-concept store in Bentonville, Arkansas.
Their plan and Doerr’s suggestions about what we all can and must do, is absolutely phenomenal. Do not miss this video. Don’t just listen. Watch him. It’s possibly the best proof we could see that transparency and honesty are what ultimately will move people to action.

surely Mr Doerr’s daughter was wrong. It is not his generation that caused the problem. Most of his generation are living on less than $5 a day.
