A shock story in the UK Guardian today:
"The top five companies (EON UK, RWE Npower, Drax, Corus, and EDF) produced between them more than 100m tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2005. On average, the country's 26m private cars produce 91m tonnes each year."
So, that's alright then, we don't need to worry about driving our cars do we? Well, actually we do - these comapnies do not produce carbon dioxide for the fun of it, thye do it to provide us with the electricity, steel and other things we want.
so of course industry needs to do more, but so do we as individuals
