All admirable steps, and it sounds like you have the cash and knowledge to make it happen. But what about the family in the developing world?

Which part of the developing world?

India and China are going into Copenhagen with BAU plans (Business as usual). Both claim they will reduce their carbon intensity, but that will happen simply as they industrialize (an odd outcome of prosperity when measured against GDP rather than per capita).

They could step up but they won’t and will get another Kyoto pass claiming that no developing country should be bound by CO2 constraints. 3rd world nations should be off the hook, but India and China aren’t and will lure more polluters to their industrial zones with exemptions which will make the problems even worse.
