This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thank you Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.

Tax it all ; but who would collect the tax? Who would dispense the results? What kind of use would it go to? The UN can't be trusted to use the money; the UN's declaration of human rights is manifestly violated by most of the countries in the UN (no religious liberty, no woman's rights, no free speech.) On the other hand, the US is not free from neighbors with guns. :-) It doesn’t matter who pollutes. Tax it all ; but who would collect the tax? Who would dispense the results?

It's basically the same thing that Mark said. That is, take this idea a step further and make the consumer responsible; diminish the demand. Personally, I don't want to be fiscally responsible for the wastefulness of other Americans (or people anywhere). Tax products themselves, not the nations or companies that produce them. Put a label on every product akin to the Nutrition Facts label that breaks down its environmental impact. I had a real comment to make before I read that.

UNO – an organisation for what? for security and understanding in the world – i like to talk with them: why is it possible that people/children died? the inhabitants of every countrie give their voice for a gouverment and they have organised that everybody had a place to live – these is the basic in the law! and the UNO had to controlled these – i mean these is important!

and the other important thing is ; the earth is our aller mother and we have more to recpect they and take not more so mutch from their body because than somebody do it with your – the body can never worked in the same quality!!!

Regardless of whether you tax the consumer or the producer, the laws of supply and demand will distribute the burden of the tax the same way. I say add a tax to goods that is indexed to the quantity of CO2 required to produce it. That will make consumers favor more responsible companies and pressure companies to produce cleaner goods.

This adds a substantial environmental cost to all the cheap goods coming out of China and the rest of the third world.

The race will be on to find countries with relative low carbon output and willing workforces.
