Another... Call for Action

Greg et al,

Absolutely, a gas tax would be far more effective than this (as you say) pretentious and symbolic effort. But are you willing to draft the legislation or go lobby for it in Olympia? This is something that we can do. No, it's not perfect. But the point is that it's a public way of recognizing that our actions are affecting the planet, of attempting to quantify this impact, and of taking responsibility.

And yes, Chris, many of us already do what we can to reduce our impact, so why not do it publicly?


Our actions can take many forms, and this discussion is hopefully a useful way for us to get to the point of taking action. Who's in? I am.
