How to manufacture a 'global food crisis' Go green! Reduce your carbon footprint! Nonstop, we are permeated with this programming wherever we go. I understand the word carbon footprint is actually a real word in the dictionaries now. A lot of cash and time is devoted to this. Our loving Big Brother must really care about us. Let's see what they've been doing to help us out. Over in Britain, their Parliament wishes to force people to carry 'carbon cards'. The UK Daily Mail says: Every adult should be forced to use 'carbon ration card' when they pay for petrol, airline tickets or household energy, MPs say. The influential Environmental Audit Committee says a personal carbon trading scheme is the best and fairest way of cutting Britain's CO2 emissions without penalising the poor. Under the scheme, everyone would be given an annual carbon allowance to use when buying oil, gas, electricity and flights. Anyone who exceeds their entitlement would have to buy top-up credits from individuals who haven't used up their allowance. The amount paid would be driven by market forces and the deal done through a specialist company.
If the governments really cared about the environment, they would ban all pesticides which are also spermicides. They would go after Shell Oil and force them to take responsibility for choking the seas with their damn oil spills. They would stop taking unrecyclable material like plastic, computer monitors, and TVs which countain copious amounts of mercury and lead and shipping it off to China and third world countries where it gets dumped in streams and incinerated in fields staffed by workers with no protection who live nearby with their kids. And while they're at it maybe the UN would do something real about the chopping down of the 20% of our oxygen producing Amazon rainforest.
