The Guardian mentions that there is a high likelihood that Britain is going to use taxation as a means to control vehicular emissions and encourage energy conservation. This week saw a monumental amount of rain fall on British Columbia, while simultaneously people in Alberta were playing golf in shorts and tees.
As a pleasantly informative digression from your individual fulfillments, why not expend a little electricity watching The End of Suburbia? While the video is sensationalistic at times, the message is well expressed and the history behind the rise of suburban life in North America is quite arresting. Peak oil and climate change are occurring more or less coincidentally, and this happenstance should prove informative to our actions over the coming decade.
