It's similar to anti-smoking campaigns. The gubment promotes non-smoking and tells you it's really bad, but if everyone actually quit smoking, where would all that tax revenue come from? Probably people like me.
Stupid gubment.

I'm sure it is going on everywhere. But, in most cases, the gubment doesn't force you to go green or stop smoking and then charge you more for doing so. Promoting water and energy conservation isn't the same thing as mandatory water restrictions.
