Should there really be a choice between environmental sustainability and the economy. It seems that the economy is all that is on the political choice of most voters these days. I wonder if they realize that going Green does help the economy and also the future of human civilization. Without looking after the environment nothing is sustainable, because it's a lie about growth that keeps going without limits. The truth is there are always limits in what we can do with dwindling natural resources.
Carbon Taxation is one of the many political solutions to the problem. Reducing our carbon footprint not only saves the environment, but energy which too saves money. So where does the saying Green Shift is a Green Shaft? "What non sense!" Going green creates jobs in many areas, for once the auto makers cannot sell cars with peak oil around the bend people will need jobs in other areas.
