You know, it will be great when words like Carbon and The Environment are no longer needed to be used politically for any sort of ‘Green Imaging’ . You can imagine how for the next 100 years, if something isn’t done immediately, everything is going to have organic, friendly, free-range, or green in the title of it..from Economic polcies to cereal boxes. I look forward to whent hings can go back to normal and the ‘Green’ part is already understood and known and is the standard…and we don’t have to have it waived at us like a flag anymore…

It would be better to call the tax: Dion’s Copycat Tax. And everyone can know it is a copy of Campbell’s ‘Finally, Lets At Least Try And Do Something Smart Tax’…and the environmental branding is dropped, because it shouldn’t actually be the focus. The shift in value, the end goal, the vision should be the focus…and not the tax.

It will be nice when intelligent valuation of the environment can be embedded in the economic policies without this need to claim to be an environmental piece of policy.

Everyone is an environmentalist. Lets move on. Lets let go of this ‘need to be seen as green’ box, and actually get down to business and generate more value, and actually come out and say this is what we are doing!

I think this is where Dion is missing the point and inviting lots of criticism. He’s all scared to be looking like he’s doing the right thing, but doesn’t understand how to unwaveringly communicate the meat of the issue through all the opposition, and so is inviting the thing he claims to be opposing.

I think he is ‘IN The Box’ as they say

for readings on ‘being in the box’, please see ‘Leadership and Self-Deception’ by the Arbinger Institute and you will see how ‘In the Box’ I am while writing this…cause for me to see myself as being an ‘out of the box kind of a guy’…I need people like Dion in my life.
