Is there any real life examples from the folks here that show they are leading by example? Genuinely interested at what all the Doom Mongers are actually doing? 

Having a go but still loads to improve

 

No Kids

Built a well-insulated house with super low energy appliances

Don't fly, well hardly ever (twice in my life)

Wear stuff until it falls apart.

Work from home selling local-ish sourced logs

The truck is a bit of a bugger but no electric pickups are available yet but did see pictures of the Bollinger B2 earlier. One day maybe. 

 

Did the WWF carbon footprint calculator (https://footprint.wwf.org.uk/#/~)and came out at 7.6 tonnes per year when the 2020 target is 10.5 but it's still way too high to be sustainable if everyone wants to live as we do. It's not been cheap getting a lower footprint but it's cheap in the long run with low running costs for the home.

No I read it, it states ‘this article is about a popular phrase’  it doesn’t describe a clinical syndrome. 

 

Thats is your invention.

 

Spare us any more from Kennith, the spectacle of him in full camouflage next to bench in a public park was quite enough thanks.

Well it might be thats it called the bystander effect, but it amounts to it being somebody else problem in colloquial terms..

 

why are you trying to make a point of it, does it matter what its called.. a rose by any other name..

I think flying only accounts for around 12% of CO2 emissions (could be wrong).

Agriculture is a big one, especially beef production.

I'll see if I can find a proper breakdown.

Statements like this amaze me ?

 

Is one not slightly more necessary than the other?

Beef production?

Compared to parking your arse on a beach for two weeks?

Village Idiot, let me just ask you straight up: are you for global governance? No more nation states, no more elections? No more free market?

That's a really good question, and the honest answer is I don't know.

 

I think we might well need something like that to effectively solve the really big problems, but how you would get to it and made sure it kept to a moral agenda, I see no way.

I just did the quiz, as honest as possible. I hit 31t ? but to be honest some of that could have been taken by my wife. Ie, I dont live in my house alone, she needs the heating cranked up over 24c and obviously the pets are not all mine. I included Duck and Chicken feed in that too.  

 

You have to be congratulated for your efforts though.  Hopefully one day I'll get my consumption lower. I'm still gonna travel to the Caribbean each year though. :P

We're told to stop eating meat and eat either the lab stuff they are starting to grow or insects. Feck that!
