I'm with you on awareness, education, and any voluntary movement that helps the environment. Heck ... give a discount to citizens with less weight in garbage (or volume) at the end of the year, I don't know.

But none of that ciphens billions to one cause and leaves everything else on the planet in it's shadow.
###. I have no problem doing things more efficient and less harmful for the environment. However the elaborate schemes many proponents of 'man made global warming' have entail expenditures in the billions with minimal real effects on the amount of carbon emissions. It reminds me a lot about gun control. Very sexy issue, was viewed as being able to save lives. Problem is for what it ended up costing it would have been more beneficial to twin the Trans-Canada in some trouble spots. It not only would have saved more lives but also would have decreased travel time and seen many economic benefits as well.
