What about our environment?

Another thing to worry about especially with the increase in wildfires.

That picture of the dead elephant was so hard for me to look at. 

It's always sad to see animals suffer from our errors.

Besides which, I had no idea they were such effective eco warriors.

Are we really the only animals ruining the ecosystem?

I would say yes... because even if there are other animals ruining it, then you can still trace it back to us somehow lol we make so many poor decisions, even when we think we're fixing one issue, we end up messing with the balance of nature and creating a whole new mess.

To take it a bit further though I do have to watch the ants in my greenhouse who move in and farm the aphids on my plants. Who do I blame for the epedemics - the aphids or the ants

Be careful though. I have heard the aphids can be sneaky. 

I see the polar bears are struggling to survive in Alaska as a result.

That's remarkable.

Greta Bigmouth was in NL at the weekend helping her environment friends to block the A12 again.

She was arrested twice and given a bus ride to the police station ( due to her principles Id have made her and her cronies walk)
Her footprint isnt as tiny as she would have people believe she has driven an EV and although she travelled to the US in a zero emisson sail boat to prove her point, two crew members flew to the US to sail the boat back and two other crew had to fly back to their base/home.

Id love to see any one of these bigmouths actually run a home and earn a wage while sticking to all their high principles of no oil no waste ect.. At that point I might actually listen to them but the fact that this 21 year old has taken more flights in her life than I have in my almost 60 years leaves me saying ...go practice what you preach first young lady then teach your granny to suck eggs,

Don't get me wrong I'm all for limiting... Make sure all cars are limited to 1000ccs and must do a minimum of 50 miles to the gallon.
Stop frivolous air flights and limit each person to one return flight per year.

We should also limit the amount of junk food that is produced and sold do we really need 12 burger bars in a high street? No..

Limit the amount of breeding the human beings do all this five six children is a strain it's a strain on resources strain on finances.
Limit the amount of saving we do I know this sounds awful and hard but when someone has really reached the end of their life let them go, the same for babies who are born with severe and life limiting conditions let them go, we need to learn that death with dignity is better than life without it . This also applies to life limiting diseases, we seem to have a need to cure every single disease but surely it's better to have a shorter but more fulfilling lives and healthier lives , longevity isn't everything.

I agree with many of those. I would also look at nhs work. Is it all really deserving of the public purse. Should more death duties be paid towards the nhs, and social care, by many more people. 

Bikes, should be vat free, as should any ecology saving item. Electricity from wind, and solar panels should also be vat free.

Tax breaks for companies converting from plastic wrapping to compostable [paper] wrappings.

No vat on car repairs, ever. 

I could go on and on.

I am going to add it to the standard book of rules immediately. Just don't tell Heather......

I have a feeling Heather is quietly watching

I will deny everything. I have no knowledge. I am in the dark. I don't know what you are talking about. All this is new to me....  Lol...
