What do you think about?
According to your opinion, are there any other reasons to support this questions apart the following ones?

•To use the car (or motorbike) once a week;

•To keep my house temperature 1°C below in winter time and to use air conditioning systems during the summer time not below 25 C°;

•Food products, nowadays largely consumed (as bananas, coffee, etc.) imported from foreign countries, for local products in order to reduce CO2 emissions due to transportations;

•To lower prices (it is right to pay more for a product/service environmental friendly);

•I would introduce in private homes tools to regulate consumptions and to avoid wastes (shut down timers, energy saving bulbs, etc…);

•I would buy electrical appliances with low energy consumptions ( A+);

•other?

If you want to give your contribution and if you think this is the most relevant question to the discussion, support it!

Yes!!!
I agree with you! It's important to reduce the use of certain products, but we must pay attention at the consequences for developing countries.

I think we shoul cancel the option referred to food products because if we gave up buying certain products like cofee or banana we could cause economic damages to developing countries
