I think a lot more people are trying to do their part than the general public is lead to believe. However, I think the little people are being attacked when opportunities to get the big hitters are being ignored.
For instance, why do I hear nothing about global warming enthusiasts putting pressure on companies who outsource to 3rd world countries to shape up? If they're American based, surely we can require that they mandate the same standards in China as we have here. If Chinese companies don't comply, we don't buy. I think pretty soon companies across the world would do as we ask.
It makes me wonder when people tell me to get rid of my dogs because they're contributors, that I can't eat beef, and that I can't use my grill or my toaster any longer because all are contributing to global warming. At the same time, I near nobody complaining about places like China who have been instructing people to stay inside because the air isn't safe to breathe. Is our focus off?
