concern about the environment, resource depletion, peak oil are not new ideas. thoreau, the group of seven, etc., were all hippies of a sort. the peace and 'faux' environmental movements of the 60s and 70s produced...yuppies. it's a tough fight and most don't have what it takes to make it into positions of power, or are corrupted along the way. i really do hope you're correct, though. it's our only hope.
personally, i think people will return to our cities kicking and screaming, only after it's already too late.
