Papers from Stern and others as well as carbon exchange programs all help. I'm changing habits, riding my bike everywhere. but it's mainly for my own peace of mind. The semi that roars by me while I'm pedalling has just made up for all the green commuting I've done all year.<BR/><BR/>Hopelessness can have the opposite effect on my habits. Several times over the past 20 years, I've decided that it's pointless and gone off to well, pointedly indulge in carbon, I guess. But If I or we see everyone else stopping and becoming concerned, well, that sways a man.<BR/><BR/>So when it comes to changing people's behavior, my vote is for constant educational reminders and for "heartening positive behavior happenings". Seriously. The sight of one guy riding his bike to work can keep me going for weeks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
