I think our basic disagreement here ciroccoj comes about because I'm more of a cynic than you are. I give to local and international charities and do a number of things to reduce my carbon footprint (the fuel efficient car, the warm in summer cool in winter house, using compact fluorescent light bulbs, energy efficient appliances, walking or public transportation when feasible, recycling etc.) but I see that stuff more as paying lip service to a social conscience than an effort that will significantly ameliorate the world's woes - particularly not those of the Third World.
Anyway I have no doubt said more than enough on this topic already.
My best wishes to you and your family for a happy holiday.
