• Dont believe the propaganda. Did you know that in the height of the industrial revolution when the UK alone was churning out more carbons then china and india are now, the core temperature of the earth actually dropped by 2 degrees. Centuries ago Britains used to grow grapes and had its own vineyards. Look! The climate is changing and it is a natural occurrence. NASA satellites ACTUALLY show that the ice caps are starting to freeze over again. There is recorded proof of the sun having solar bursts. These are natural and dont have anything to do with global warming. The ozone is repairing itself after the damage caused by the use of CFC%26#039;s in the 70%26#039;s and 80%26#039;s. This alone should prove that the planet can repair itself. The peat bogs on bodmin moor make up around 3% of the worlds carbon emissions and the population of England only make up around 2% of the worlds emissions, so the peat bogs alone make up for more emissions than England. If the government is so concerned about climate change then they would invest in more sustainable fuels and promote veganism as the biggest producer of carbons is cattle farming. Did you also know that energy saving bulbs contain mercury, which can be poisonous if it gets in the blood stream.
  
  I am not saying that we should leave the lights on or use the car unnecesserally, nothing annoys me more than a child being dropped off at school when they live no more than a 20 minute walk away. I just believe that if we are going to be told of global warming and have to pay more tax because of it then please let us have a proper adult debate about it. 0% 0 Votes
• Many workplaces aren%26#039;t easily accessible by public transport. For my husband to go to work it would be 2 buses and 1 train: to get them all to link up would be a nightmare. It%26#039;s not even as if we live/work in extreme rural areas. Public transport needs to improve, and even be a financial incentive for people to consider it as a realistic alternative. Another option is for companies to realise that in this age of technology it would be completely workable for the majority of their employees to work from home most of the time. I know this depends on the job, but certainly a lot of office jobs could work like that. My husband could certainly work at least 3 days a week from home, if the company would allow it. 0% 0 Votes
• I love this Planet, I realy do, and Ive been recycling long before it became fasionable, I kept a compost bin even though I have no garden, again before it became fasionable. I bought Organic food, back before we were made to feel guilty for not doing so, I use rechargeable batteries, keep old bath water to wash the car, I have had over expensive solar pannels fitted, Ive been taking old bags back to Sainsburys for so long that I used to get strange looks as I was the only one doing so, I always buy British and always Fair Trade, I cycle, not because I love it but because my concionce tells me I should. So please, when I decide to take my big petrol guzzling V8 out by myself for a pointless drive, DONT come over all high and mighty. I think I made my point 0% 0 Votes
• a lot of people have no other way to travel, than by car. But as far as carpooling, a lot of people are just too lazy. They all think the same thing, to just let someone else do it, but when everyone is thinking this noone does anything. Our Earth is getting worn out, but I%26#039;m sure people will find a way to save it, the idea is still rather new. Well, at least I hope we can save it, because it%26#039;d be terrible if we couldn%26#039;t. 0% 0 Votes
• i live in the %26quot;country%26quot; about 35min. from work. no one else i know works close by where i do, and there are no buses that come into my county into the next county for some reason. i have no other choice. i can%26#039;t walk or cycle, or else it would take me a few hours to get to work and then another few hours to get back home. some people don%26#039;t have a choice.
  
  we try to conserve energy and do our part in other ways, but as far as driving to work, i don%26#039;t have any other options at this time. 0% 0 Votes
• did u goto work today??? how did you get there????
  
  If you live in a major town u possibly will have a public transport system, try that out in the sticks..... 2 busses a day... so yes i drive, most of the time i ride my motorbike.
  
  So should you not be spending your time pertitioning to get an appropriate alternative to driving??? untill there are alternatives people will drive their cars.
