Are you a carbon addict? Probably yes: and children are dying

Do you have carbon dependence syndrome?

Take the CAGE test - do you need a regular carbon fix, by taking a bath or a long shower, by updating your mobile phone while it's still functioning, or by going on an overseas weekend break or by buying new food instead of using up what's in your fridge?

I've been enjoying the website Carbon Addict, which treats irresponsible carbon use as a disease, which needs managing.

Remember: the World Health Organisation estimates that 150,000 people have already died from climate change, and they are mainly non-addicts in developing countries - another word for this social group is 'children in poverty'.
