Johann Hari: We'll save the planet only if we're forced to

Johann Hari in this article was talking about how the humans harm their environment by using or producing green house gases, and how it won’t change a thing if single persons changed their lightbulbs or bought carbon offsets. However, he thinks that people must be forced by rules and fines to stop or reduce their footprint.

First, I don’t agree with the author when he talked about the single actions; I believe if a few people started to change their normal lightbulbs, instead of talking, many people will start to follow. Also, I think choosing what type of lightbulbs to use at home, or what car to drive, or how many gallons of gasoline I burn, for all this I think I must have the right to choose.
