| Holland has about the highest tax rates on income, labour, and energy. My family of 4 pays 200 euro a month (!) for water/gas/electricity, out of which 45% is tax, which goes straight to the government. We are more careful now than ever, turning of lights when not in a room, shorter showers, closing taps while brushing teeth, using less dishes, thus saving water in dish washer, no appliances on stand by etc etc etc. When people feel it in their bank account, then will they do something to save energy, thus saving the planet too. |
