I think we need a human cull Mother nature will get around to it in time Let's hope me and mine are lucky It will be a meteor strike. I think there should be protest against meteors.

I'm still shocked after all the news about plastic that we've seen, how supermarkets haven't changed to paper bags for their loose fruit, and the amount of plastic that people are throwing in their trolleys. A lot of people are thick, bone idle and selfish. Northy the supermarkets have gradually created the plastic problem during the past 50 years mostly to do with barcodes imo . The average punter has very little option as many products have 3 layers of plastic wrapping even for the most committed shopper it's difficult and expensive to avoid Plenty of options Harry, take your own bags to bag up loose fruit. We use local fruit and veg shop, local butchers where we take our own containers. We buy stuff like toilet roll and kitchen roll online with no plastic, get nuts herbs n spices from a shop that you fill up your own containers and you pay for the weight, our bedding we've ordered online organic sustainable cotton, no plastic packaging. Lots more, just takes a bit of effort to work it out and get into a routine

Yes, but you plant new trees in their place which soak up the CO2 quicker when growing surely you know that ?

We eat lots and lots of fruit and veg every week and have compared the prices with standard fruit and veg but the extra costs just mean that we simply can't afford to do it. As an aside we've actually turned over part of our garden and now grow our own veg, and have planted some apple trees but the yield from them will be miniscule in effect. We're also on the list for an allotment so we can hopefully grow some more.

We've just got shop differently these days.

Yes, but you plant new trees in their place which soak up the CO2 quicker when growing surely you know that ? Replacing a 300 year old huge tree with a twigglet? 😆 Since when do they cut down 300 year old trees in the paper making industry? This is the sort of thinking that won't save the planet for your grandchildren

And unfortunately more expense until the organic movement can compete on price or become the mainstream than nothing much will change For the ordinary person it comes down to economics If faced with saving the planet or risk freezing to death in the winter most poorer people will take the view the planet will wait and turn the heating up The same problem lies with food millions of people in this country are worried about having enough to eat and frankly don’t care if it’s got four layers of plastic wrapping I went in to Norwich with one of my daughter in laws the other month and we went in this organic shop locally produced apples were twice the price of apples produced in Kent from my local supermarket yes I bought some as I was in a position on the odd occasion to do so Millions cannot In the cold light of day saving the planet is not going to be cheap Somehow they have to find a way that allows the poor to fully contribute or its doomed to fail I haven't mentioned organic, the family owned fruit farm in town seems cheaper than Tesco. Whilst most people will applaud your efforts It’s not possible for the majority to follow suit as I have posted earlier it is mainly to do with cost but it appears to me that you spend a lot longer doing your shopping than many In this modern world people have a limited time available to source there food unfortunately which is why supermarkets everything under one roof policy proves so popular I don’t know the answer but somebody needs to figure the way of cost and time spent to be competitive against mass produced food Almost everyone is concerned about the planet but for mass participation in trying to solve the problem it must not appear to be a chore
