of course, if you don't want to pay the fine - and i'd rather call it a fine, a punishment, than a tax - then you should lower your carbon footprint.
and, if you don't care? well, sorry. i don't much care about you, then.
me? i should get a monthly check in the mail from this. and, if costs of certain things go up, i'll substitute them for things that cost less.
.....because i do care.
