Don't get me wrong - I'm as much a hippy (& happy to admit it) as anyone else who uses a mobile phone & computer, but I really think that we've left it too late.
Posit: America, Russia, China have done their damage, and we're all stuffed, no matter what we do?
I think that all these local Council recycling schemes & G8 conferences, etc. are just a government's way of paying lip-service. It is now a case of Too Little, Too Late.
For example, we ALL know that cars only contribute a small proportion of the UK's 'carbon footprint', yet loads of us seem to think extra car/fuel/road/congestion tax is FINE. We all eagerly recycle our plastic bottles, but how many new plastic products are we buying each day? How many plastic things in your home? In front of me now: Dell VDU, mobile phone, keyboard, DVD & CD cases & disks, 2 laptop PCs from work & 2 cycle helmets! Plus the plastic trays from dinner in the bin because I had to work late & did not have time to properly cook for me & my son!
