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!!! :)

I wish we have carbon taxes in Greece too.

Have a nice one!

Permalink Reply by Nero Tura on October 20, 2011 at 6:05am 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.......
Permalink Reply by Georgia18 on October 20, 2011 at 8:25am 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...
