Re: A bad reputation. Based on the fact that 15 tonnes of is produced per year per person, that means (on average) 1,200 tonnes of carbon dioxide is produced over your lifetime. So, surely the biggest saving, environmentally, is to not have a baby. Although that is almost never mentioned as our carbon solution.

About - more boxes in supermarkets is a good idea, and we should be encouraged to use them and take them back. The almost complete lack of meaningful plastic recycling in this country is nothing short of a complete joke.

I think that half of the problem with all this hoo-haa is because all these researchers are declaring that something might happen, people are panicking and then that has a knock on effect that causes it.

When a way of measuring is agreed, has anyone devised a unit for it? Wishing your boss a good morning, would be 0.3 Blastlands. Say give 1m euro to Haiti Relief Fund, we'd have 350 Blastlands, or, 0.25 Ghandis.
