Hi Michele,
I think the Sierra Club proposal is well
meaning, but simplistic.
It avoids the real issue, which is that
the rapid rate we are using our fossil fuel
resources is giving most of us an unrealistic
picture of our real agricultural wealth. Once
the oil is gone, North Americans and Europeans
will eat much like everyone else, don't you think?
IMHO we need a carbon tax to help
remind us the true value of sustainable/
non-sustainable resources we have come to
depend on.
