Something needs to be done and it has to start somewhere.
Just because change won't be sudden doesn't mean it isn't worth doing and passing off inaction because the guy next to you is just another form of laziness.
As I've said before: my neighbor throws bags of garbage out his window every day but I only toss a chocolate bar wrapper on the ground. I guess I shouldn't stop because it's only a little bit of litter. No way.

Well the carbon tax in Alberta isn't really designed to change behaviours of everyone. Supporters will say it is, but that's a fallacy. Its a case of "those who can afford it" paying again.
Its a pure income tax that is set to provide new revenue for the government. Its basically greenwashing on a governmental scale.
