it has to be said, that those that are making an effort will help the situation, and would make us smug if it wasn't for the profligate individuals in society that don't give a shit. Galling is too polite a word.

As for industry - we demand medicines and fuel to let us live in health & temperatures that even in the 1930s were only available to the richer. They gotta be made even though they are making the situation worse by increasing longevity and lowering mortality. Consumption rises..

We love the internet, that through Goggle, Farcebook Amazone and IBM et al have server farms estimated to consume 20% (+) of the world's electricity.

We put PV on our roofs that are increasingly made of cadmium selenide, a toxic element coupled with an extremely rare and energy consuming material. Spread thinly, fortunately, which makes it cheaper.

The problem is simple to define, but complex to solve. Anyone got any ideas on reducing the biggest pollutant? Man!
