Considerably more enviromentally sound than you: Lordship Lane witnesses greenie meanie shocker

[taper]

Definitive scene witnessed on Lordship Lane on Saturday.

The two Green Party geezers drumming up support outside the Co-Op call to a young woman passing by to take a leaflet. Said young woman turns towards them, she adopts a self-righteous posture and says she'll read it on-line as it's more environmentally friendly. As she walks off victorious she plunges the dagger deeper saying she doesn't think it's very green of them to print their material on paper. Defeated and diminished, the (fair trade) linen clad greenies reply meekly that it is recycled paper. But they've lost and they know it. I smile at them sympathetically and they smile back. But I'm sure self-doubt will eat away at them for the next few weeks.

SNUB - Self-righteous "No" to Unwanted Booklets

They should have claimed that the paper was recycled in foot presses using rainwater ,then dried on mats and then written out by hand.

That would have been much greener than her nasty electricity guzzling computer!!

That would have been liking poking her in the eye with a [green] stick.

Take that self-righteous lady!!

Of course they'd probably have been lying.

[DaveR]

They should have been doing something more sensible and productive than standing around outside Co-op bothering people.

[Jeremy]

Surely the fact that it's from the Green Party is reason enough not to read it.

[Huguenot]

They need to have a response to this, something like...

'If these leaflets persuade even one person today to insulate their loft, it will save twice as much in energy as it cost to print them - these leaflets are an investment in your future'.

Or something like that but true.

[Annette Curtain]

Yeah really...

I saw her too.

( as she drove off in a 4x4 Audi Q7 V12 )

I agree with Huey. If the outcome outways the input they are on to a winner.

I stopped and chatted to them too - they will be taking part in Dulwich Meat Free Days - easiest way to be green!

Outways? More meat for you Thomas , I think. It aids spelling.
