While sitting on the tube this morning on my way to class, I picked up the free commuter paper to pass by the 30 minute ride. What do I spy on the front page as the headline? The richest countries of the world spend more money on sun cream protection in one month than they spent in a year (or something to that tune) on the poor countries suffering the most from global warming. And of course the US is the worst offender, pledging absolutely nothing to the fund.
How dare you selfish people put your family and their skin health and their risk of cancer before whole countries? You wouldn't need to spend that much on sunscreen if you were more green. Its all your fault.
This coming from a country that burns its trash, has huge bonfires every November, wants you to recycle but makes it impossible to do so (and the solution is to charge you by weight on your rubbish pick up), wants everyone to take trains but charges way to much for the average person to afford for a ticket.
