World Bank Warns Rich Countries

The World Bank blamed wealthy nations for not doing enough to protect the environment, saying that goals are not being met and that environmental progress was "alarmingly slow."

Remarkably, rich nations need not contribute much to remedy the problem, requiring a mere $2.50 USD per capita (Reuters).

While governments are always sluggish in addressing problems and avoidant in addressing those that cost money, the power to affect change lies in the individual.
