Personally, I'm getting tired of these kind of articles - they seem to serve no useful purpose other than letting people endlessly debate who should act first (spoiler: the answer is always "not me").

Let's first implement carbon tax with actual teeth, and go from there. And please no talk of "Ahh but what about America/China/India/Global rich/Corporations/whatever?" For god's sake, America can start first. Or China can start first. Or we can all finger-point each other and merrily claim "I'm not gonna do anything until that guy moves first!" while the world is heating up.

It usually isn't "me"... I made < 60k last year.

The total water usage of residents is < 0.2% last year, still they say "conserve water" and waste money on public service announcements etc... businesses, govt, industrial use is the other 99.8% and it's just business as usual for them....
