It's just rain!

Hi, Thanks for the comment, who are you??

You're right, it's business as usual.

Record petrol prices and yet there has been no drop in demand. Electricity and Gas prices are going up and people's reaction is to shout and complain rather than use less.

I am convinced more than ever that it cannot be left to the public to make the changes required to protect the environment, we are just too selfish and self-interested. It is the role of government - align VAT with energy efficiency (A rated 5% - G rated 50%) tax bottled water, decrease tax on well insulated homes, remove VAT from bicycles, make public transport much cheaper than driving and so on and so on...

It makes alot of sense to me too. The bottom up will only work when the structure is put in place by the powers that be. People need direction out of this one, at least a guiding light at the start. The people in power gotta show us how to let go of the power!!
