Theroadlesstravelled Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Newish thing on Netflix by David Attenborough about the large scale destruction of nature just over his short lifetime. Humans can get in the bin. Horrific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exceptionally stupid and short sighted as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefybake Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 On 05/09/2020 at 02:50, Tight John McVeigh is a tit said: 100% agree with that. The situation in Jakarta is actually quite alarming and it barely makes the news. The government scrapped huge plans to build a ‘Seawall City’ for circa $45bn to save the city and committed to moving the capital. Kind of suggests they know they are fighting against the tide (pun intended). As you say the current, immediate issues are mostly (but not all) in the ‘third world’ so who gives a f**k. You'll love it in Bormeo. I've been there. There's 17 native species of snake. Fortunately, only 16 of them are deadly poisonous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The island the wife is from is infested with killer wildlife from Snakes and spiders, to tigers, Komodo dragons and other fun things. I tend not to go walking too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short term greed will always win out. We need to be dragging those responsible in to jail and tearing down their shite. Stop all fossil fuel production immediately. Obviously that won't ever happen either. We are locked in to a course of absolute disaster and it is now inevitable. The planet is fucked. By the time the public at large wake up to the effects, which will be when they are personally and immediately affected, it will be far beyond far too late. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case you hadn't noticed, the oil companies are struggling. BP shares, for example, are at what I read as a 25 year low. Investment monies are pouring in to various renditions of green, ethical directions. Try reading up on ESG, SRI for example. If you have a smartphone, check out the app 'Grid Carbon' and see the percentages of renewable energy used on the National Grid..., from Solar, Wind, Gas, Nuclear, Coal ( just about zero ). It's s the easiest thing in the world to sit back and say "Doomed, doomed, we're all f*cked....". We all have choices. Make them ..... in the direction you/we want to go.

DA Baracus Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I'll take a look at that app. What choices do you suggest I make? I would consider myself pretty 'green'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Last weekend we changed our energy supplier from RheinEnergie (mostly disgusting, horrific brown coal) to Greenpeace Energy. We're paying €30 less a month and it's 100% renewable energy supply, with investment being made further into solar. It's a co-op style opt-in which is great, anything made is invested straight back into further expanding renewables. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Also practically stopped eating meat. Barely bought any except when eating out previously but now making a conscious effort to avoid it. Can't emphasis enough that reducing meat (especially shit, imported stuff) consumption is crucial long term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week a guy from Utilita tried to get me to sign up to them on the dootstep. Much laughter was had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick your nose around the exhaust of your car, and see if you still think it's healthy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
