3. Government vs Individuals?

If we use this one - How important do you believe governmental policies, such as carbon taxes, are for encouraging greater sustainability within Canada going forward?, could we include another example other than carbon taxes? maybe energy efficient education e.g.BC Hydro's PowerSmart or other government rebates/subsidies... I feel that carbon taxes carry a negative connotation - nobody like taxes, and carbon taxes at least in BC (i tihnk) are associated with Gordon Campbell and he's not to popular either.
