Favourite Quote[edit | edit source]

Currently, one segment of society is trying to maximize profits without much concern for the impact on the well-being of society as a whole, and another segment tries to deal with the fallout. Overall, the system is not working. It is time to change.

Emissions trading[edit source]

Hi Howard,

FYI I moved Category:Emissions Trading to Category:Emissions trading and put it in the energy policy category. I also edited {{User Emissions Trading}} to get it working, with categories working right.
