That’s great, but let’s be honest, 7% is nothing. If we really want to make a dent in global carbon dioxide emissions, then we need to be putting more pressure on the oil and gas industries; not blaming the little guys. Of course oil and gas are second only to electricity and heating industries.
Let’s put our money and efforts where they belong.

7% most certainly isn't nothing
