St. Maarten Private Eye

...that even if all the islands in the Caribbean just up and stop everything that causes pollution, it won't make a bail of difference in the climate. And even if we were the only land masses in the world polluting, we wouldnt even cause a ripple of worry. We're too small to affect anything. (I think I read this in one of the Caribbean newspapers). The US is the largest polluter in the world. If the US ALONE cuts back, it will reverse the effects of global warming. So I guess we could be more conscious yes, of course, for the cleanliness of our island , its attractiveness to visitors etc etc. But in the bigger picture of things..in the world wide picture, what we do or don't do is of little significance isnt' it?
