I'm not quite sure how much the UK can do to 'save the planet' when we are but a small cog in a vast machine.

I remember Sting and other celebs campaigning about the demise of rain forests years ago, nothing changed.

Some nations/countries have some sort of 'carbon tax' system that apparently does something useful.

If sanctions are applied to countries that actively continue in 'bad practices', the sanctions often make things worse.

If I reduce 10% of my carbon quota (or whatever it is), someone somewhere in a 3rd world nation will probably increase theirs by 15% trying to catch up.
