Carbon Condom

We use condom for safe sex, we also need “condom” to save/safe energy. However, global warming seems only a topic discuss among politicians, scientists and environmentalists; the general public just pays little/no attention on the issue which definitely has direct and indirect impact on everyone. That’s why the Greenpeace launched the “ Carbon Condom” campaign to let the general public knows saving energy is just like using condom for safe sex that is a part of daily life.
At the moment, the UN climate change conference is holding in Montreal. Unsurprisingly, the U.S. repeated their refusal to embrace the mandatory targets of the Kyoto Protocol, plus rejection of any discussion for a long-term global agreement to cut greenhouse emissions. For me, it is really unconvincing that the U.S, as well as Australia, can help to curb the climate change by voluntary efforts. Concrete targets for GHGs reduction and serious efforts are essential to guarantee real actions, not just doing a house of cards that what the U.S. Bush and Oz Howard governments are doing.
