While it is true that every little bit helps, not every little bit is
significant, and it is wrong to teach that it is.  If you focus people
of fixing the 5 watt Squeezebox power "waste" problem, they start
feeling more comfortable about driving a Hummer, because they feel they
have "done their part".  

The focus and effort needs to be placed where it will do the most good,
not where it will make people feel good about doing something/anything. 
Fixing big problems takes more effort and the gratification isn't
instantaneous like unplugging your SB and getting a warm fuzzy feeling
that you are doing your part to save the world.  Hard work and
sustained effort are the only things that will solve the real problems
and it will take a long time.  

Being taught that every little bit helps is NOT helping fix the
problem.
