good on ya. I've been angry about the NDP position as well on the carbon tax, and have recently written a similar letter.

I've never been very political, but lately it looks like if I want a decent world for my future children, I'm gonna have to become so.

People have stopped denying climate change and environmental awareness, but now most are running around with their heads in their hands screaming "But what can I do?!"
