Congratulations to Burlington Vermont for being the first city in the United States to be totally powered by renewal energy sources. You can hear/read about their accomplishment on a PBS broadcast, Running on renewable energy, Burlington, Vermont powers green movement forward.
In addition to being good for the environment, it is also good for their financial bottom line. They anticipate saving 20 million dollars over the next two decades.

Changing behavior takes more than information
Information alone doesn't change behavior. I was reminded of this reading today's StarTribune. In one article "UN climate panel says emissions need to drop to zero this century to keep warming in check", we were reminded of the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on climate change, and how critical it is for the long-term survival of humans we reduce our emissions.
Elsewhere in the business section an article on the impact of low gas prices references a car sales manager who says "Right now, gas mileage is not that much of an issue for consumer choice".
Unless we create financial incentives for people/countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions it may never happen.
