WE are just making a rod for our own backs, compared to the rest of the world NZ doesn't have a pollution problem, we are such small fry in the overall scheme of things that our token effort (E.V.'s) is just making a certain portion of the NZ community (intellectuals and do-gooders plus those who've already made their money and E.V.'s are like a fashion item) feel good about themselves.
To think that every little bit (absolutely minuscule) helps when we are so far away from polluted areas is silly and shows just how out of touch with reality the population is. The Earth can handle some pollution it's just that there are so many other people in different parts of the world who really have no choice if they want to maintain their life-style. They won't be sacrificing anything, they're too busy competing to the death.

It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
