How to Fix America

visit http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/video/first-look-how-to-fix-america/5846/ to post your idea.  Here is what I wrote there:

One way that I would fix America is to put more focus on sustainability.   “An early study into how companies are coping with the financial crisis by A.T. Kearney showed that companies focused on sustainability outperformed their peers by 15%.” - http://www.theicpm.com/blogs/non-specific-pm-topics/3257  What America really needs is a rally point.  Something to be proud of again.  In the past America has been great at so many things so being the most Sustainable country in the world is what should be central now because everyone can participate.  No policy or hand out will do. We must capture the hearts and minds of every American around all that is good.  The best way to fix American is to provide something to fight for and believe in that impacts the health and welfare of each and every American.  It is through belief that battles are won and success is achieved.  There is proof now that companies perform better when they focus on sustainability.   So why not apply that nationally? Hope is the way to fix America.  Hope that Americans can gain life liberty and the pursuit of happiness by fighting to keep American “green” and raise the bar for the rest of the world that America is the greenest and most sustainable country in the world.  The challenge is what everyone needs, not a hand-out or voucher or subsidy.  Are you ready to improve by 15%?
