its NOT individual person's fault. Its large dirty businesses that create majority of the pollution. Only way to fight global warming is to target them to pay for their externalities.

You can help, you can recycle. But all of the businesses could be forced to use environmental responsible packaging. Thats the kind of externalities I am talking about.

How come when a tanker spills oil in gulf we as tax payers pay for the clean-up, how come when a power lines start forest fires we have to pick up the bill?? And so on...
