Climate Change Protests - will they make a difference?

^We are already doing a good deal and doing more seems to be eat less meat, fly less etc. All of these things are individual choices that most people want other people to
Do. Not them^

Exactly Mycat !

I can count on two hand the flights I have taken in all of my 57 years, all of which have been very short, so I guess my carbon footprint is significantly less than many of those who "talk the talk" but don't think they should have to "walk the walk" which is for other people.

It is use of resources rather than just overpopulation surely , the average American generates 32x more carbon than the average Kenyan, this is not a simple reflection of population numbers.

I think it really depends on what happens now.

Declaring a climate change emergency by labour smacks of bandwagon opportunism.

What will the government do? We are already doing a good deal and doing more seems to be eat less meat, fly less etc. All of these things are individual choices that most people want other people to
Do. Not them.

I also think if there is any more disruption of cities people will just see the protesters as a bloody nuisance and I strongly think celebrities and that teenager should be kept well of the air as celebs are hypocrites and the teenager massively annoying to most adults.

However if extinction rebellion has actually kick started proper action then ok good for them.

Of course the real issue is over population but no one is going to take on that poison challase because that involves taking on religions.

Watch this space

Well!

The question in the OP has been very quickly answered and it is

YES.

Our HoC has made history by being the first government in the world to declare an “environment and climate emergency”

Go Extinction Rebellion!!

gilly

Maybe you are right they do seem abnormally perky!

Good grief you wierdo have you seen the size of those bath bombs!!! Doesn’t best thinking about!

It must be lovely to be able to cycle to a mall.

Ours is so far away

You're not supposed to put them in your bottom. They go in the bath. ???
No wonder your bottom's scratched. ?

Gonegirl
? Thank you very much and for the PM reminder
Just got in. I went on the bus.
It's much nicer being virtual friends. ?

Well, I went in there and I was fine. Mind you, I traced the shop in our shopping mall by smell. Bloomin' expensive being a planet saver though.

Ohhh I do love a visit to lush! The staff are so perky

Maybe there's something in those fumes that they are breathing in every day Mycat My 2 elder DGD's love the bath bombs and stuff from lush but the smell in the shop gives me a migraine.

One persons cynical is another persons sense.

Emma should stick to the acting she made herself look an utter idiot.

I have never been in a Lush shop, my friend drags me past as she says, even from the smell outside the door, she starts wheezing.

Ohhh I do love a visit to lush! The staff are so perky and it smells so lovely.

My dds love it. It’s like primark for the middle classes

The only thing is the bath bombs scratch my arse! Still it smells good

Why are some people SO cynical? Why do some people think ranting about other people's lives is acceptable
Sorry, notentirelyallthere but Emma Thomson does tend to bring out the cynic in me.

Just skip by the commentator(s) you don’t like humptydumpty that way you don’t read them?

The above post is confusing!
I was trying to reply to M0nica's* post about Emma Thomson's gormless gems, sorry M0nica.

My copy and paste not working properly! It must be the wrong kind of glue.

I think anyone unfortunate to work in Lush will develop respiratory problems as they get older ! You can barely breathe in the shops.

I wonder if the irony of supergluing themselves to offices is understood by the people involved......…
gormless gems just about sums it up.

I will listen to Greta or anyone who has valid information but not to a film celebrity who has just jetted in with her wooden knife and fork.

If we all start using disposable wooden cutlery, will they be made from sustainable forests and can we be sure that these forests will be replaced at the rate at which they are devastated?

btw - if you find paper straws disintegrate and are worse than useless, you can buy reusable metal straws which fit into your bag and can be taken home and washed.

Katek I am quite concerned about what type of glue they used, the components of it and how it affects the atmosphere.
Perhaps someone could enlighten me as to what eco-friendly glues could be used that are so effective.

He's going to smell delicious, Gonegirl!

I wasn't thinking of blocking everybody who holds a different view from mine! - just one (that I can think of) who annoys me

I am going to buy my GS some shower gel. He thinks he is getting Marks and Sparks stuff that he had before. He is actually getting Lush no plastic solid shower 'gel'.

Pointless then isn’t it as you stay in your echo chamber.

Report posts you feel need to be but no way close down different opinions to you or me. That’s incredibly dangerous
