Global Warming
Dear Editor;
It’s a no-brainer that we should all do our utmost to insure our children live in a world of clean land, water, air and food. However, when it comes to global warming our best efforts to reduce our carbon footprints would have little effect. While Canadians are among the biggest wasters of energy and water in the world on a per capita basis, our overall contribution to global warming is miniscule compared to carbon big-foots like China, India and the U.S. If we all traded in our cars for bicycles, bought only locally produced food, got rid of our air conditioning and reduced our carbon footprints to baby-booties, it would have little or no effect on global warming.
