    If only someone could invent carbon absorbing, self-replicating matter that we could just spread around the world and leave to its own devices, then we'd be alright.

    Oh god please no, there are already far to many eco rubbish things around these days. I want to drive around in my large engined car and I want to have NORMAL light bulbs as I prefer them. I already pay enough tax at the petrol pumps for the car because I use more fuel therefore I pay more tax. I don't need to then be taxed again!

    Before you know it we will all be driving GeeWhizzes and living in tree houses.
