Do you care about the environment?

[UserSince2005]

Like would you go as far as to glue yourself to the top of an overground train?

Might make a poll when I’m next on my laptop.

[Niamh.]

How does gluing yourself to a train help the environment though, can't I just recycle [emoji102]

Not sure, maybe the more glue you use, the more horses die and then the less grass that is eaten. Grass is green yay!

[Liam-]

I care about it the same way I watch Drag Race, I want good things to happen, but I wouldn’t slap Katya’s face on a stick and protest for her

[RileyH]

well yeah but i don't go out of my way to help it

But Alaska so didn’t deserve to win

[Oliver_W]

Sure I do. Dumb protests like the current ones in London achieve nothing though.

[Liam-]

And the planet is going to ****, tell us something we don’t know

[MTVN]

Not particularly

[Underscore]

I'd get arrested for the environment if that's what you're asking.

[Marsh.]

Doing nothing achieves nothing.

At least they're trying, getting their voices heard.

Does this mean you grow weed?

[RileyH]

Not particularly

i hope the ground swallows you up

[Underscore]

:laugh:

Anything to suck up that extra bit of co2

[Underscore]

Seeing these protests today has just really bolstered my view that we need more action like this, as politicians are moving too slow when we really need fast and effective solutions to mitigate this impending disaster

[Oliver_W]

Doing nothing achieves nothing.

And pissing off the general populous who just want to get to work, and emergency services who need to save lives.

If you want to get your voice heard, do it in a way which doesn't make people wish some of those truck drivers from France would help clear the road.

[UserSince2005]

Poll up

[Smithy]

Why yes, I glued myself to an electric train just this morning

[Smithy]

I take a plastic bag to Tesco and feel very proud, but really I just want to save 5p

:joker::joker::joker:

Kind of sums you up.

[reece(:]

I studied Environmental Science for goodness sake!

tbh those bags should be £1, and the money should go into planting trees, or other environmental causes.

[Cherie]

We need to stop buying so much stuff, so in reallty the planet is doomed as a consumerism is hard to kick

[Niamh.]

tbh those bags should be £1, and the money should go into planting trees, or other environmental causes.They're 70c over here but the money just goes back into the tax pool as far as I know. Planting trees would be the wiser choice

[Vicky.]

I care, but don't really actively do anything to help. So probably don't care enough. I don't drop litter and that though and get sad when I see pics of penguins choking on plastic bags, but I still usually do not remember to take bags with me and tbh, I have a whole kitchen cupboard full of them that I will 'definitely use next bloody time'. I also rage a bit about the silly paper straws that collapse after being in your drink 5 mins..

On the other hand, whenever I see coca cola in a glass bottle, I buy that. But its mainly as it tastes so much better. Things like that would help a lot I think, using glass bottles for drinks, but I suppose it would lead to more people being glassed :/

[Vicky.]

My collection to be worth a few grand?! :o

[Crimson Dynamo]

Level 5 is actually funny

[Smithy]

Do you all not recycle? :nono:

[Vicky.]

I recycle, my recylcing bin is actually full to the brim and tomorrow on collection day I plan on dumping a load of cardboard into neighbours bins (they never have owt in theirs, they only seem to recyckle endless alcohol bottles..)

[smudgie]

Hubby recycles everything possible.
We only use the car sparingly and we don’t fly.
We do however use a lot of gas and electricity :blush:
I detest anything wrapped in plastic with a passion.

[bots]

i try to be less flatulent, so I think i'm doing my bit

[user104658]

Milk caps aren't supposed to go in the blue bin? :think:

[Crimson Dynamo]

the TL just bought these wee hessian bags to put veg in at the supermarket and we already have these

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51LIVFlJ9XL._SX466_.jpg

she is actively getting rid of plastic in the house, she spends a fortune on this, even her toothbrush is like bamboo and hair or summat - all her make up is plastic and animal free and everything from dog bowls to the basin in the sink has been replaced


its little things by individuals that will make the most change. change yourself first before you glue your vagina to a Routemaster

it saves you a lot of time getting stuff in the car and out at the other end as you can segregate stuff - one bag for freezer stuff and one for veg/fruit

plus we zapp as we shop so no waiting at chechout

:hee:

[Oliver_W]

:hee:
So you're taking work away from the poor kids at the checkouts?

[Crimson Dynamo]

making better tech jobs for the people who make the zappers, paystations and people who man the stations

:hee:

give me a self checkout kiosk over someones ****ty attitude anyday of the week

[user104658]

I also rage a bit about the silly paper straws that collapse after being in your drink 5 mins..

They started putting cardboard straws in McDonalds milkshakes ffs! The end colapses after 30 seconds and then because the milkshake is thick... you can't ****ing drink it :fist:. I'm going to just start carrying around my own damn straws :hmph:.

Hmmm

OK so I just got so annoyed thinking about the milkshakes that I bought a pack of 250 plastic straws from Amazon to keep in the car. So change me to Level 1 I guess :joker:.

[Oliver_W]

Ehh. I don't care what attitude they have, they're only in my life for about a couple of minutes, and then gone. Like my lovers:[

Tbf it also helps people who may have anxiety. But this doesn't really apply to shops. More with ordering food e.g. Maccies

[Crimson Dynamo]

is it true that all the recycle stuff you do in maccies allgoes in one bin out the back?

:suspect:

[Oliver_W]

Yeah I'll give you that one.

In that case we'd better eat as much as possible, so there's less for them to waste! Any excuse...

[Vicky.]

Milk caps aren't supposed to go in the blue bin? :think:

I didn't know this either. Mind, I do not 'wash' my rubbish either, I actively recycle a lot, but like hell am I standing washing old tins and stuff like I do the dishes! D: If people DON'T do this, then someone else gets a job out of it tbh. I see this kind of thing similar to self service checkouts. If people will do it themselves, then someone else loses out o a job. And, am a bit lazy and the thought of standing washing out tins and stuff when its rubbish is just ridiculous to me also

(I actually did used to rinse tins, until the binman kicked off one day about one I had done that was on the top not being utterly spotless. Thats when I got my 'go to hell' head on :idc: )

[chuff me dizzy]

I use my blue recycle bin to give me more room in the other bin ,would I go out of way and OTT to care about the environment ? Probably not ,but I never, ever drop litter its one of my big pet hates

[Northern Monkey]

I think most people care.
I just think most people realise that there’s not actually anything we can do to prevent the impending doom.
Specially when the big superpowers who create most of the Co2 aren’t doing anything.

We could stall it for a few years...maybe.But the Earth is going to heat up and cool down again whatever us mere mortals do.
There’s many other factors other than just us.
There’s going to be plenty of species after we’re wiped out there’ll just be more species that suit the environment better, then eventually Earth will be a dead planet like Mars.

Same tbh.
I recycle but i don’t have time to start washing my rubbish.

[Denver]

Not particularly

This type of attitude is why the planet has been destroyed

[Saph]

I'd say im somewhere between 3 and 4

I recycle for the most part but I also wouldn't hesitate to litter :joker: I chuck a banana skin out my car window on the way home from work everyday because I eat lunch in there

[Denver]

What i dont understand is why are they using glue to fight the cause? its made from Trees, Animals and oils

I am exactly the same with litter Chuff,hate litter droppers,as for caring about the environment I think most decent people do,we all have a responsibility to do our bit, I do recycle and try to walk places if I can, I don't use plastic bags and I bet you loads of them at the protest smoke and drive cars,it's very sad what we have done to the planet but disrupting everyone and spray painting buildings and smashing windows is just making it worse, a nurse said on the news today people cannot get to their hospital appointmennts etc,these people need to think before they start things like this.

[Kazanne]

Exactly , they haven't thought this out too well , have they ? Don't forget the aerosol cans they are using aswell .

[Mokka]

I'm not voting because the poll options make no sense, but I do care. I cycle commute, reducing my carbon emissions. I eat vegetarian, proven to reduce more greenhouse gases. I recycle, but more importantly I reduce my use of packaged foods by buying whole foods and cooking with them, or gardening to grow my own. I bring my own bags to the shop. I'm not much for commercialism and would rather repurpose or reuse something than buy used.

But I'm not an activist. I dont tell others how to live and I don't judge them on their choices.

[Livia]

I fly quite a lot for work, I so do try to do something to counterbalance that. But I genuinely feel that global warming has gone too far for anything to be done now. The planet is horribly polluted, and we're still merrily buying stuff, producing plastic, driving cars... it's too late. My prediction is that mankind will be wiped out by natural disasters that will bring famine and pandemics... and sadly, it's probably the only thing that will save the world because we're the infection.

Agree Livia,we all hold some blame not just the government,we had warnings before but we arrogantly think we can still have what we want with no consequences but shout the loudest when things go wrong and it's always someone elses fault,I kind of agree that it's gone too far,the loss of animals is appalling ,some we will never get back, the Oceans are polluted, we will suffer for our greed and nonchalant views on things,imo.
