[sustran] UK leading in pollution reduction

[Shrestha, Kishor]

Dear all
Recently, the UK Government has claimed that it is leading in reducing the
harmful greenhouse gases. It has targeted to reduce the pollution level by
two folds as of Kyoto climate change deal by year 2010. And the Government
is keen towards the signing of legally binding EU commitment. The government
has urged the need because of recent flood in Mozambique and Indonesian
fires in 1996-1997. It shows the pollution is global issue and the UK alone
has vowed to cut down the pollution level. 
My question  to all of you- 
"Is it possible to reduce the pollution to the target level if the most of
the countries in the world are not prepared to do so much in this line
instead they are contributing to increase the pollution level"
