Campaign and contradictions

In this theme we lay focus on personal input against the
climate change. As our campaign is global and we have many
participants in the developing countries, this aspect is contradictory.

The problem of personal behaviour exists more in the "rich countries".
For instance, consumers in OECD countries produce a lot of co2 emissions
compared with people in the developing countries. How can we ask them
to do their part if the real problem lies elsewhere? The effects of climate
change will cause most damage near the equator.

As we collect pledges we maybe could spread the issue from consumer
issues to actions for the better environment. Of course, there is an
alternative "My own pledge" that can be used for this purpose.

I would like you to comment on this issue!
