Given that we produce per head of population more rubbish than most other nations (yes, I know, the Canadians, the Bulgarians, the US Americans and a handful others are still more wasteful ), given that we consume (per capita) more fossile fuel than most other countries and given that we are comparably quite well off (top ten percent of rich countries per capita) - why not go ahead instead of waiting for the poor nations to go ahead and give a good example?
