If everyone acts on this advice it will really be slash and burn like there's no tomorrow...

En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma

Why "will"? Hasn't it been that way already ?

It would be great if anyone could convince me that there will be tomorrow after all...Whaching TV news does not look like there is...

I have friends who figure that it is better to travel the world now, at least then they will have something to remember as the world comes tumbling down. So half a year working, half a year traveling.

Though they are really to poor to have any staggering effect on resource consumption. In fact even with the flight they might have a lower ecological footprint then similar youngsters who try to make a career and get all the trappings of the consumerist lifestyle.

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
