Well seems like someone put it very simple for the masses…
I think the message is that simple and maybe we can do it without the politicians. You don’t necessarily need a law to forbid lightbulbs (thanks Nats for killing that act). You can just go and buy energy efficient ones. You can stop asking your car dealer for a petrol car and start asking for an electric one and promise him you’ll buy one if he can deliver one. You can switch to Meridian and give the people interested in clean energy the money to do more.You can start insulating your house to waste less energy (and who knows you might even convince your landlord). You can start thinking about what gadgets need to run how long. You can decide between a Kiwi made product and one coming from China/US (by the way, thanks Nats for killing the Kiwi Made project!). You can take the bus, ride the train, cycle or walk to work. You can challenge your employer to become more environmentally conscious. And you can switch off the lights in the office when you’re the last to go home. Maybe you can even vote CO2 away…
And I honestly doubt this will cange your quality of life one bit! I’d even suggest that you WILL feel a whole lot better.
As I have said before. It’s not about global warming but it’s about saving us all, becoming more a conscious and sensible species.
