"Thanks for cutting your carbon foot print. I think you should do more."

"You are saving mother Earth."

"In the end though just remember you are not making any difference."
That's why I live in a country that is. There are 38 million of us working on the problem, and the world is looking at us as a model.

" Even if the USA goes whole hog, China and Russia and Europe will not."
