On your last comment about decreasing what goes to the dump, the city of Airdrie has a two bag maximum for garbage pickup. If you want the garbage man to pickup more than two bags a week, you have to go to city hall, buy a permit/sticker and attach it to every bag over the limit. Certantly led to a lot of people in Airdrie recycling more or composting more.
As for the purpose behind Kyoto, I'm pretty sure I've made my opinion on that rather clear.
I cannot say that I am at all surprised that people are catching on that Kyoto is worthless on an environmental front.
