Cool, so I can morally use as much as I want because in the grand scheme of things I am just one person. You know what, I agree with that. Now I don't have to change my behavior for any of this stuff. I just needed to see myself as important as them. Thank you for this change in perspective. Now I can say a few words about the environment, while consuming as much as possible, and you'll have to defend me from critique.

By "big fish" I actually meant companies (who are a prime shake-down target for carbon credits), but if for the rich, celebs, and politicians the shoe fits... They are supposed to have noblesse oblige.

Fucking yes! We need stringent government regulations, not individual moralizing.

Stop whining and moaning and vote for politicians who will put in place the taxes and regulations needed.
