COPENHAGEN

there is a war of words between developed and developing countries/regions during this supposedly consensus building summit on carbon emission caps.

when it comes to national interest, there is no letting off from the developed world that penalty [suspension of financial aid] should be imposed on developing countries if carbon emissions are over the agreed limits, what penalty do they impose on themselves!!! they [developed countries] are already drafting the final agreement accord even before consensus can be reached, how hypocritical!!!

check below for simple ways to cap carbon emissions, but even green associations do not recommend such solutions, wonder why???

bottled water
if we stop buying bottled water and carry our own plastic bottle of water, refill them at home, office or the parks, then the shipment of bottled water from countries to countries, city to city, then to stores can all be eliminated thus saving a whole lot of fuel. the manufacturing of such will come to a standstill which also saves energy, but not jobs. eliminating bottled water will reduce carbon emissions by 1-2% immediately.

cruise
this type of leisure travel is using the lowest grade of fuel, creating a lot of waste that add to carbon emissions, skipping such leisure will eliminate 3-5% emissions.

liquid soap and shampoo
liquid soap is heavy that requires more fuel to get them to stores before we buy it, the packaging also is polluting as it requires plastic bottles. solid soap is paper wrapped and much lighter, occupies less space at stores which use up less fuel to transport them and also less electricity to light up at stores. if we stop using liquid soap, then we save a lot of energy too and also reduce carbon emissions.
