Was that really just ten years ago? I doubt many have changed their minds. The prevailing mindset is still, "I have things to worry about that are actually important", you're just more likely to be challenged for it now. We're going to be remembered as a generation of utter c***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 One of the main things a person/family could do to reduce their Carbon footprint would be to use public transport to get to work or have a fully electric car. However, when trying to get people to change to an alternative, the alternative has to be at least as good as the current option. With public transport to work, I/my wife live 4.8 miles and 5.6 miles away from our respective places of work (as the crow flies). This is a max of 40 minutes return trip for me, 50 mins for her. Taking the fastest series of public transport connections, It's 1 hr 40 mins for me and 2 hrs 40 for her. We looked into electric card when we bought a new car earlier this year and despite the savings in fuel, the up front cost was thousands higher than a similar petrol version. We stay in a flat so can't get a charger installed on a driveway and it seems that although some of the faster chargers can complete a charge in 30ish mins, others take several hours. We like going big road trips and the hassle of trying to plan in stops because the range is 300 miles worse than my current car is not appealing. I do my bit in daily life with regards recycling, cutting down plastic use etc but won't buy an electric car until the range and charging infrastructure improves significantly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're depending on that we'll never get anywhere - the alternative is an alternative because it's not as attractive as the preferred option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really true though is it. Plenty of folk use bikes or public transport in Europe because their infrastructure is just as good as the road network, if not better. It would cost me over £5 every day to travel the 10 minute journey to my work on the train, that's just completely pish especially when the services are completely unreliable. To travel between our two main cities on the train (an hours journey) is the guts of £30. I could buy a train ticket online right now that takes me from Amsterdam to Antwerp (an hour and a half journey through two countries) and it would cost me £17. The public transport in this country is treated with the contempt it deserves and until that changes folk will continue to use their cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Aside from the Great Resety stuff surely people are going to start to understand how this government manufacture consent for unpopular policies with long term strategies of leaks, denials, staged interventions and fake social media pressure and polls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Sturgeon currently announcing that she is anti-Cambo and anti-O&G exploration (evidently wanting to copy the Danish). Ooft. Unclear on whether that's just her personal view or the general view of the SG as well. Edited October 25, 2021 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 For once I actually (partly) agree Boris Johnson.Recycling plastics does not work, says Boris Johnson https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59039155His statement is poorly worded, recycling DOES work however he should have said recycling isn’t enough. He is absolutely correct in saying we should cut down on plastic use. That’s all very well but we already know people aren’t taking the initiative. The UK government could of course simply ban many types of single use plastics and other items such as shopping bags, coffee cups, food packaging, etc. They - and indeed the Scottish Government for that matter - could announce these measures tomorrow and give companies and consumers a few months to prepare for the switch. To me this seems like a perfectly acceptable and simply measure to carry out. I’m not sure why they wouldn’t do this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 We should reduce first, re-use 2nd and recycle 3rd. And even then it will make not a jot of a difference because we (Scotland) are a tiny part of the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Joanna Lumley has stepped up and opened the debate on rationing to reduce emissions. I wonder how many flights she has been on this year? She's close friends with Prince Charles so it's not much of a surprise she is doing some heavy lifting for the Great Reset. You would think after the Garden Bridge fiasco she would shut the f**k up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
