Hi everyone :)

I just thought I'd share that what I've been waiting for, and what some businesses and politicians in Australia have been doing everything they can to avoid, has finally happened (on Wednesday). Yaaayyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!! Big polluters now have to pay a carbon tax, so I hope they will start trying to use alternative energies or find environmentally cleaner ways to do what they do, rather than just trying to palm off the carbon tax onto the general public or sacking workers or whatever. :) :) :)

Here's hoping! :) Have a good one, all!!! :)

That's smart  ;)

I wish we have carbon taxes in Greece too.

I will wish for it for Greece too, then :) Do you have a lot of industrial things happen in Greece?

Have a nice one!

yes...unfortunately we have.  

                                            

We do too :( Hope you get the carbon tax put in place in Greece and your big polluters look for more environmentally friendly ways to run their businesses... :) :) :)

Hey guys, congratulations on the carbon taxi's. very revolutionary......

 

Thanks :) :) :) Hope it spreads to all the well-off countries :) :) :)
The biggest problem is that the pollution damages our ancient sights...!

Indeed - and you've got some really great ancient sights!!! We'll wish for a lessening in pollution all around the world, from industries and individuals with cars, etc - if everyone gave up smoking, that would help a lot!!! ;P And be healthy for them all too!!! :) :) :)

But, in real...all the money you waste in your whole life to buy cigarettes...are near one million!!!!

Almost 1000 each year!

That's very true! They could use it for much more useful or interesting stuff (like a nice holiday - maybe to Greece! :D :) :)).

I really hate cigarettes. True, not only it affects the ancient sites of  greece but it also destroys the world. here in the Philippines, our government wanted to make a pack of cigarettes a 1000 pesos(10 dollars). But since the government officials are smoke addicted, it's useless.......

 

That it would be really smart. But you are right! All the "High rank ***" people in the goverment are smoking...

But it would be the only solution and pretty usefull i think. Specially in Greece but in the rest countries of Europe too, cause we have big financial crysis, so if the cigarettes are expensive then the majority of the people will stop buying them or stop using them often...
