We're actually quite lucky to have a decent Green Party and a proportional government system here (NZ), where the Green Party can get up to ~15% of the vote. I wish it was more though.

In a world where no party is proposing reforms that will actually do enough, I feel like I basically have a responsibility to vote for the most environmentally conscious not-totally-insane option.

Indeeed. In the UK, no party has an environmental platform worth mentioning. There isn't even an environment position in the cabinet any more - just industry.

Conservatives promise to dig up the country.

Lib dead promise to dig up the country, slowly.

Labour promise to dig up the country, for the people.

And the greens promise not to dig up the country, but will make us all live in grass huts.
