[QUOTE="MartinezDeMedio, post: 146055, member: 8845"] Yes Yes I absolutely agree. I think humans should do our best to save the planet. The problem is that the majority of us don't, prompting laws like this to get passed. In reality this isn't different than "forcing" businesses and public buildings to have fire alarms and houses in the desert to install or keep their water meters. On one hand, its for the planet. On the other hand, I don't think someone should be forced to pay a fine for not complying. Nor should they be forced to jail. I think forcing people to spend their weekend picking up trash would be a good compromise. You don't recycle? Fine, you spend your day off cleaning the highway. But legal fees and possible jail time is a bit much, for using the wrong light bulbs. I think the intention is in the right place, but the result echoes back to the gestapo. European governments tend to have this problem, you would think they'd be a little more cautious. Then again I'm sure many members on this forum would call me a gestapo for suggesting a compromise to pick up trash. The irony isn't lost on me Ultimately I think we should try our best to clean this planet up. It would be nice it people didn't have to be forced to do it. Then again its not an ideal world. I'm all for rights. But if my right to be lazy and ignorant infringes on a child's right to breathe cleaner air, who's in the wrong? [/QUOTE]
