to how I am supposed to change my behavior due to the carbon tax.
Am I supposed to now take public transit with my daughter in her car seat and drop her to day care on the LRT and then take the bus to work from her day care?
Am I supposed to grow my own food in the backyard because apples and oranges are imported and their transportation requires carbon emissions? I can’t grow my own carrots and tomatoes on January 4th.
Am I not supposed to heat my home? How many sweaters can I force upon my wife and kids? Will turning off the lights for a few extra minutes during the day really make a difference?
The economic theory makes complete sense, but how am I really supposed to alter my behavior?
Even if the carbon tax went to $100/ton or $200/ton, what can you really do?
