Consuming natural resources at an unsustainable rate is one of the greatest issues of our time. I highly recommended the discussion between Tom Keene and Henry Vaux, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, about the costs of desalination versus better water conservation management practices. An excerpt of the discussion:

Tom Keene: We have an inalienable right to a green lawn. Is that going to be gone in 20 years?

Henry Vaux: Oh I think so….

Given the current discourse and energy prices, do we have an inalienable right to drive an SUV for any other purpose than absolute necessity?
