The school has security cameras so that may help you. The office there usually picks up when you ring. Best wishes for a good outcome 👍

Even organic food creates methane, effluent, takes space and uses transport etc. Lab-lamb etc. wouldn?t have anywhere near as big a carbon/methane footprint.

Of course I would. I doubt a new firm with an avowedly save the planet ethos would dodgeify their new products. I?d trust UK and European versions of such meat more than US or Asian ones simply because on the whole we have more stringent rules. I?m not a believer in making monsters out of new technology providers but I?m still cautious. I heard a vegan man who?d not had meat since 1971 day he?d eat this type of meat as it?s not causing harm to animals nor emitting lots of methane or carbon and not acting as a hothouse for future animal-to-human pathogens.

Maybe I saw greylags. I can?t be sure.

Why not put them into a charity bin - there is one at the Plough, another at Mind at Goose Green and one on Hindmans Road at the corner shop? They take clothes and recycle the ?rags?.

Email the local councillor? [email protected] I think but you can easily check that. She?s responsive and helpful in my experience. In the meantime how about slapping on the marigolds and bunging the refuse in another bin? It?s what I do so I?m not asking you to do something I would not.

This idea that aviation is a big devil is nonsense. Aviation accounts for some 2.1% of human induced emissions. If you?ve no car, pet, two kids or fewer, you?re already doing pretty greenly. Air travel is getting greener - fuels and airliner materials, with investment also in electric aircraft. The go to bogeyman is airline travel but it?s not the biggest offender by a long chalk. https://www.atag.org/facts-figures.html

Server problem ? could you give the basics?

Thanks - I think I saw a pair of raptors flying very high over Barry about ten or so days ago mid evening but they could have been crows.

The government certainly has a role but those closer to home are likely to be able to exert more influence.

Lived experience

Which part of Barry?

Maybe or coukd it have been a bird? Sometimes small birds can flit in a similar way to a bat. I?ve yet to see any bat around these parts, alas.

Because optics matter to them and - more likely - any potential critic with a keypad.

There are two - I had seen more in the van and assumed all would be planted there. Still, it?s a start and likely are there to make up for the felled street trees nearby. (BTW, growing apple/pear/plum etc. trees from standard apples is easy; there are plenty of online videos on this. It?s likely not all pips will germinate but it?s pretty easy to try.)

Heartblock - workaday people also pollute and waste. To claim it?s a millionaires only problem is nonsense. Hundreds of thousands of car trips under a mile are made daily in this country. Tons of food are wasted. Excess amounts of tat - imported often - is bought by millions of people on electricity hungry, often upgraded mobiles and tablets. Millions of dogs and cats are bred and sold, each needing meat-based food to sustain them.

Several new trees have been planted (with supports) at the flats on Friern near Etherow. 👍🌲

Yes, but most won?t.

That?s maybe so but XR is a movement - political and social - so a precedent has been set and the council may find itself accused of bias or at least naivety. XR ought to pay and enter into an agreement with Southwark to guarantee mess, damage etc.will be accounted for at the very least.

Agreed - I kick them into the gutter if they?re of a certain texture, but there?s nothing you can do other than accept some dog owners are dirty, selfish oafs.

Ditching = ditching the concept of. 🙄

Agreed - lots of people doing lots of tweaks can help but very few think further. Lots of children, a pet or two, all kinds of consumption - this is the excess that lots of folk won?t budge on, even though rejecting them en masse would do more than reusing plastic bags and recycling, etc.

ANother way of helping would be to ditch your pet, your car, have only one child, etc. etc. but that is seen as maybe too radical, yet we have folk on here saying how much like the like and support the (very radical, at least in terms of intervention and direct action) XR. So, which one of you will do any of the above to really follow through on your flask-of-hot-tea boosterism?
