Oh no, I'm pro-Democratic socialism - I think we're having a bit of a miscommunication here. The intent of my previous comment was to illustrate that no matter what the average person does to mitigate their carbon footprint, ours are a drop in the bucket compared to those of major corporations in China (and elsewhere, I should add). I'm not anti- any of the things listed, it just sucks to have cardboard in my drink and to remember to bring my own bags, when there are such lax regulations for Chinese (and other nations') corporations when it comes to dangerous waste and emissions, which is a much larger contributor than anything private citizens do. I hope that clears things up; if I were a betting person, I think we want the same outcome here.
