Sorry if I come across as a party pooper but twice recently people who have been on climate change protests and cry when they watch the TV programmes about melting ice, extreme weather and homeless animals, have also caught planes because they say:
trains are too slow and prohibitively expensive
Isn't it about time we/they woke up to the fact that we are part of the problem ?
What do others think?
I would be truly interested to know. I see on facebook today several friends are jetting off on their third or fourth trip this year. I have flown when there is no other choice, or driven my petrol car, but I always first consider the alternative - which is often far more fun and part of the holiday. Train to Europe for example.
When I was young we holidayed once a year, in the UK, whatever the weather. We didn't go abroad until I was in my late teens.
Parents-in-Law. What do/did you call them?
