The Youth League Has Your Name On Their List

The Youth League, the Green Youth, the Green Police? Anyway you put it, George Orwell would be proud of his foresight.

Schoolchildren in Britain are being paid (well) to spy on neighbors and report them for "environmental crimes".   And since Britain sets the bar for everyone else, you can expect these little policeman to be in America and everywhere else soon (if they're not already).  £500 (about $1000) is the going rate for good little citizens' reports, and what kid couldn't use that kind of money, right?  What they would use it for, I'm not sure, but I remember being 8 years old, and $1000 wasn't even on my radar.  Perhaps their eco-conscious parents will encourage them to save up for college, so that they can go on to become eco-conscious worker bees and work for environmentally sound corporations and drive little hybrids all around town while they shop...but wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.  If things continue in this Orwellian manner, there will be no trendy hybrids, nor anymore hedonistic shopping sprees.
Agenda 21 will take care of that.  With no private transportation and only an electronic system of "credits" that will be issued each week (instead of money that you can save), maybe the eco-friendly can congratulate themselves on a system finally well managed.  Shamu will be so happy.
