Personally I don't agree, I believe corporations viz consumerism has created this situation

If they didn't invent it, make it, market it etc I wouldn't be tempted to buy it creating the need for more manufacturing and we'd still be living like we did back in the 50's and 60's you could buy any Holden you wanted as long as it was black.

Come on how many Iphones, Ipads, digital camera's, telescopes etc do we need, how many TV's etc every year camera makers for one bring out new models as do car manufacturers all in the name of consumerism all which contribute to the production of Co2

I don't mind doing my bit for the environment but we've already seen electricity prices rise in this state by 50% in the last two years, along with annual increases in all other Govt related charges that exceed the CPI

If we continue to consume at the same rate the levels of C02 will not lessen unless we can introduce other economical sources of power
