Do you care about the environment?
 
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.

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!

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 17-04-2019 08:49 PM

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

But Alaska so didn’t deserve to win

Oliver_W 17-04-2019 08:49 PM

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

Not particularly

Underscore 17-04-2019 09:01 PM

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

Doing nothing achieves nothing.

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

Anything to suck up that extra bit of co2

Underscore 17-04-2019 09:05 PM

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

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 17-04-2019 09:06 PM

Poll up

Smithy 17-04-2019 09:08 PM

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

Smithy 17-04-2019 09:09 PM

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

Kind of sums you up.

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

Cherie 17-04-2019 10:01 PM

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

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. 17-04-2019 10:11 PM

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 :/

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

Crimson Dynamo 17-04-2019 10:15 PM

Level 5 is actually funny

Smithy 17-04-2019 10:17 PM

Do you all not recycle? :nono:

Vicky. 17-04-2019 10:23 PM

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 17-04-2019 10:40 PM

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 18-04-2019 07:23 AM

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

user104658 18-04-2019 07:51 AM

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

Crimson Dynamo 18-04-2019 07:54 AM

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....XL._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

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:.
