It's worth remembering, folks, that your guilt and discomfort over personal action on things like climate change and waste are the result of concerted campaigns by big polluters in electricity generation, mining, transport, and a range of industries in order to deflect blame away from those most responsible.
That responsibility is held jointly by the emitters themselves and by governments who refuse to hold them to account by making responsible policy and laws.
So, what can you do?
You should certainly do the best you can to reduce personal waste and emissions in a multitude of ways, but don't for a second believe that each of us as individuals and collectively hold primary responsibility for growing carbon emissions.
You can also write letters to politicians (your local, state, and federal members - and their opposition), as those things eventually have an effect. And do *post* your letter - it's much harder for a politician’s office to ignore a letter than an email.
Get on it!
