Why do I care about the deniers?
Because I believe it behooves all people in all countries to do their part in
reducing carbon emissions, cutting down forests and basically polluting our
planet in sundry ways. It includes corporations as well as individuals. Instead
of driving a 4-door dually truck (with one person in the vehicle) get a fuel
efficient vehicle, preferably a car and not even an SUV. This is particularly
important for city dwellers. I can remember when our family first moved to
Calgary in 1976, the first thing we wondered was “why all the pickup trucks”?
That was before any DIY hardware stores and at that time Sears, Eaton’s and
Hudson Bay all had mail order catalogues that delivered directly to your home.
We thought it beyond strange and I personally still think it is strange (and
selfish) for people to drive trucks in the city. I don’t understand the rational
except “me heap big man” syndrome.
I’ve been recycling, composting
and doing my part for decades (not years) and I don’t find it difficult to do.
When people complain about the carbon tax they are not paying attention to the
rationale behind the tax. It is NOT a tax grab but a method of encouraging
people to be more efficient with their usage of natural gas.
People need to listen more and research more
and lastly care more about their planet.
