I’m only a hypocrite if I said I didn’t agree with changing behaviours and that I didn’t adjust my lifestyle. I already stated I’d like to get a gogoro and I usually take public transport . I live in a small apartment and I don’t have any heating system. My biggest Carbon contribution are the flights, possibly the air con and also eating meat. I don’t eat a lot of meat but the flights , they are definitely a problem.
Don’t forget your kids. Think of all the carbon they’ll pump into the atmosphere during their lifetimes. And then there’s their children, and their children and their children…
I didn’t but I didn’t have many kids did I.
It’s a good point though that the number of kids you have is probably the biggest ‘contributor’ all else being equal.
I’m going to join the shared scheme. So I get maximum greenie points.
I should probably ditch the old car but I haven’t done it yet. If there were better rentals options (and now I noticed there are many shared schemes) I may get rid of it and save myself some $$$ too. Or I may get an SUV …Yes I am thinking about these two choices at the same time. But I wouldn’t drive the SUV much either.
Living in Asia a lot of these environmental problems are really obvious. And in many ways it’s fairly easy to deal with two or three or even four problems at the same time. For instance toxic air and carbon pollution and acid rain and noise can all be cut dramatically by switching away from fossil fuels, specifically coal and oil…That we haven’t done it yet in many parts of super densely populated Taiwan is a bad joke.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen…skipping out on a conference to spite a school girl is now being interpreted as ‘leadership’ and a political ‘win’ by some people now. Thatll show her to be upset about something hazardous to her. Atta baby! In your FACE Greta!
Guess some prefer to be Al Bundy rather than Justin Trudeau one question for you … I struggle to understand the Obama’s support of Greta and her message , whilst ignoring the threat themselves . What’s going on there ? They don’t believe her ?
I thought you were also married with children ?and the Obama’s question ? Do you think that they are like most “ doom preachers “ … telling the rest of the world what they must do , whilst doing very little themselves ?
Reference the Obama’s warning and Greta too , that the ocean will rise very soon and housing will be submerged . So Obama’s just buy a house on the ocean front for 15 million bucks . Yeah …showing the truth about their belief in the “ facts” Or should I post their purchasing decision in the “ idiots” thread ?
