Uni bans burgers

World's gone mad.

Well, they’ve banned beef. Not specifically burgers. The world hasn’t gone mad parm, but if we dont do something soon then there won’t even be a world to go mad.

Beef farmers seem to be a soft target

I saw a picture of FB of all the airplanes over Europe at any given time, but its the cows that are killing us

People are being led down the garden path on the impact that such things have, and the every little helps argument is complete tosh

Here we are leaving the EU likely without a trade deal with our nearest neighbours and setting up trade deals with countries on the other side of the world. That has a huge impact on the environment and not a single **** is being given.

:clap1: target the easy option

Yes their Green New Deal
a Political nove

Pushing business into the hands of Maccy D’s

Would be a prime opportunity for someone to open a burger van nearby :)

They would make a fortune.

All of it - all of our efforts here, the farming industry, air travel - is for nowt if the developing nations where more than half of the global population lives doesn't sort out their industrial emissions. Which is very unlikely to happen in time. :shrug: just be thankful that the **** won't REALLY start to hit the fan within our lifetimes.

You just know that will happen

Good for 'em, I'd say! If the uni is gonna throw business their way for a meaningless gesture, power to them.

Reducing beef production isn’t a meaningless gesture?

Oh yeah, I forgot one university ending their beef sales will save the world.

Beef production in the West is meaningless compared to the pollution in third world/developing nations.

Well with that mindset, we should continue using plastic straws because everyone else does, or continue buying single use plastic because other people do. And then screw our planet even more.

And just because beef production is less significant in comparison to pollution elsewhere, doesn’t mean that’s something that doesn’t have to change. Every little step towards saving the environment helps - doesn’t matter if it’s one person using refillable cups or a whole university cutting out beef.

They would have been better banning prawns...they have a larger carbon footprint than beef.

That's just completely incorrect, and it's brainwashing

Saving the environment will only come from getting countries to cut back on their industrial emissions. Nothing else will make a difference. Nothing else will save the planet

Personally, i think it will be self regulating. As the planet has more areas that become uninhabitable through climate change, the population will be killed off and therefore pollute less

It’s not gonna ‘save’ the planet as such, no, but it’s definitley going to prolong the window of time we have before it’s too late to save anything.

Good, more for me.

Except the places which will become uninhabitable first are the ones wiphich cause the least pollution as it is, so really you’re just suggesting killing off half the planet for no reason. Good logic there.

No it's not, and people should stop kidding themselves that it will. It's misinformation

Carry on dropping litter, using single use plastics and recycling incorrectly then. See how far that gets you.

f.y.i it’ll get the planet uninhabitable quicker than you can imagine

Oh...this sounds interesting....which places are you talking about?

you are completely missing the point. You not eating a beef burger means zero when 1.4 billion Chinese are scoffing their faces with them. The little bit of help you are doing for the planet means nothing and when you multiply everything up to the scale of industrial nations its an exponential jump again.

So many people have fallen for the rubbish spewed about the environment, its really shocking

Well I’m not the only one not eating a burger, am I? With 375 million vegetarians and 600,000 vegans there’s a lot of people not eating burgers. You’re making it sound as if there’s nothing people can do, but if everyone’s thinking there’s nothing that can be done, nothing will be done.

Nothing changes until people are ready to change themselves and the more people that realise that the better our environment will become.

:clap1:

are we ready to stop buying fast fashion,and buying stuff we don't need yet?

So people shouldn’t do their little bit to help, because other countries are worse polluters? Let’s just chuck oil in the sea and be done with it then

Tbf, if people are inclined to want to help make a difference, they can only do so in ways they are able to. Unless a university uses planes, nothing they do to change as an organisation will have an effect on air traffic.

I think you've missed the point.

A "little bit" of help is surely better than nothing at all.

That "little bit" can potentially build and grow and make a change. The only thing you get from doing nothing... is nothing.

I still want to know what countries will be sent into oblivion by global warming..Morgan?

That still doesn't change the fact that beef farmers are a soft target, I know a bit about this as my brother is one and there are a lot of things going on that are actually bringing the industry to its knees, the way things are going it wont matter if there isn't a planet because food will be in short supply as farmers go out of business

Well people aren't stopping eating. They stop eating one thing and start eating something else.

not every farm can suddenly switch what it produces, and it what they do produce is worthless where is the money to switch coming from?

I never said they get the alternatives from the same farmers. They probably would go out of business.

I was talking about your shortage of food claim.

no farmers, no food, simple

.

Some of the attitudes in this thread are the very things that’ll kill the planet

All of them if we don’t do anything.

Besides, why are you asking me, it was BOTS who said we should let those countries ‘fall into oblivion’ to reduce global warming

Not all farmers are beef farmers.

The industry will change, as the world does and has to in order to survive.
