Re: It's a report on global warming, (yawn)!
I am all for sensible consuming, re-using and recycling and I know that limited resources run out eventually and that landfill sites eventually get full and non-biodegradable stuff won't rot away.
What I'm not in favour of is being held responsible for the rubbsh I dispose of when I didn't actually create that rubbish. Things come in packages which then need to be discarded. Blame the manufacturers, not me.
Likewise Mr. Taxman don't blame the ordinary man or woman in the street for the hole in the ozone layer and use it as an excuse to hike up taxes by calling them "green" and trying to make them look all noble and responsible by doing so. We are not stupid. We know you're just trying to get more money out of us. We will still need to put petrol in the car. Aeroplanes will still fly. The same amount of polution will still be created. The only difference will be that the poor will get poorer and the government will get more tax.
