What does that mean to you? Does it mean driving your car less? Raising the temp on your a.c. thermostat?

Does it mean you driving your car the same amount of miles per year while I drive less?

Does it mean buying less of junk you and I really don't need?

Will actions on that scale actually make a difference?

I don't mean to pick on your post but the issue is complex. The solution is complex in that it crosses borders, involves politics, involves greed.
