It is more that I am worried we can't stop it, than that we are not causing it (although some of the way that is presented really irritates me too)
I do think the government is going about things the wrong way though, as they are alienating a lot of people who would ordinarily belived in recycling, energy saving, etc etc. Giving people a criminal record for using the wrong bin will not endear people to the idea of recycling. Yet another tax on cars, but with no sign of improvement to the public transport system doesn't make people think these taxes have an environmental base, just an excuse.
I would be less annoyed about the bits in the theory test book if they had been in a section on 'driving and the environment' - but seriously they have nothing to do with safety, and everything to do with the anti-car agenda.
