We choose to buy a bigger telly, a better computer, a new lounge suite etc etc when we don't really need to.
How many people do you know who will voluntarily lower their standard of living to the level necessary to save the planet?
Sorry, but I see no happy outcome to Earths predicament.

I think we may have to lower our standard of living to help our planet and future generations. Our so called leaders don't seem to mind sending others to war so they may sacrafice their lives for some warped political ideal. But when it comes to financial sacrafice, Pollies show no leadership, they are gutless. But we can all do something even if our pollies don't. I used to drive to work (70km round trip) in the family car a 4 litre Falcon. But what I did was purchase a 250cc Motorcycle for my daily commute. Not only does it guzzle
much less fuel and produce less pollution, I am saving money and having a lot of fun
Whats the point of a $6 a week tax cut when our planet is screwed?
