zeeblebot - U.S. - 12
U.S. average - 24
but note that MY footprint includes paying tax dollars for YOUR defense.
what's Australia average?
And if you defend us so well, why can't they put the garbage bins back in our train stations, which we paid for in the first place ?

I get the train to work every day and, yes, our bins have been removed too. This is a little inconvenient very occassionally, but not a particular burden. I don't generally have a great deal of waste to dispose of and (ecologically speaking) it is probably better from the planet if I am forced to consider not generating so much waste.
What gets me is that the bins on the trains themselves are still there! Now, if I was a terrorist planning to plant a bomb on the rail network and arrived at the station and found no bins, but then got on a train and saw bins there, wouldn't I just plant it on the train? Surely this has the potential for as much, if not more, mayhem.

Capitalism goes on despite the vending machines being a good place to stash a bomb ... whilst the garbage bins, where we would normally throw our vending machine waste, are gone.
All part of the facade originating with Bush.

If everyone lived like me, we would need 2.9 planets...
I don't see that as a problem as we will soon start colinising other planets...
We're going to run out of time on this planet. It's almost too late to change our ways but we can minimise the full impact.
