Maybe I am just simply "cheap" but a glass and tap water works or through a filter. I have been known to use a SS metal container on many an occasion. Also, I make my own coffee, even instant when necessary...... Whistle WTH would I pay for coffee when I can make it and take it?
Sure, there are times I will buy bottled water but not a daily occurrence for me.
As for Greta, power to her doing what she feels is her thing. The world will turn regardless Smile Wink


I bought a "single use" plastic bottle of water some time last summer and I am still using the bottle almost every day filled with tap water. With a bit of care a plastic bottle can be used many times over, okay so mine has a few dents and on it but it doesn't leak and until it does I shall keep on using it.

I know it probably doesn’t matter or make a lot of difference, but the single use plastic bottles after a while can leach the chemicals into the water much faster than when new, usually it won’t effect taste but it is still happening.

I used to use one on the bedside cabinet, until my Son saw it and mentioned he read an article in the lancet about it. Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Have you not heard of The Heart of England Forest

I know a lady who volunteers to plant saplings on the venture.

She has also taken delivery of her first 200 saplings to plant on her farm.
.



I was 'collard' this morning, by the lady farmer and I was on sapling planting today. Thumbs Up

The BBC report I saw was more concerned about the grass of (Bristol) College Green being turned into mud by the protesters. Climate change will have that back to lush in the next month.

I like seeing the underdogs like Greta struggling to get their voice heard, something entertaining about it.

Did the police stand idly by again, like they did in Cambridge last week?

Don't shoot the messenger, the facts are plain to see.

Unfortunately I don't think there is an easy answer to this real problem of Global Warming and Resource Overuse.

Bristol, as a university city, is well known for it's demonstrations, and they all normal finish on College Green.

If it rains, the grass needs to be re-seeded, and all is forgotten in a few weeks.

I don't think it is the locals making the fuss, as the Daily Mail quotes about the 30.000 demonstrators;

"Susan Hall, leader of the Conservatives on the Greater London Assembly, tweeted: ‘This is an utter disgrace, children being bussed in from all over the country – great for emissions."

I've made my feeling known on other threads about the contents of the Daily Mail.
These days we are not allowed to use their paper for fish'n'chip wrapping ...... so it only leaves one other use for it ! Censored

how many times over the last 20 or so years have I seen new trees planted by the council/forestry commission/ etc that have been vandalised by 'bored' teenagers as they claim they have nothing better to do.

in my opinion the 'youth' of today have to take as much responsibility for the damage being done to the planet as the rest of us. If they hadn't vandalised trees, or continued to make demands on the latest technology requiring batteries and components made of rare earth materials needing to be dug from 3rd world countries then maybe we wouldn't be in as bad a situation as we are now.

I wonder how many of those at the Bristol rally arrived there by train or car, have mobile phones, wear clothes made from petroleum based products such as polyester or live in centrally homes (and demanding the heating on full blast rather than putting on extra layers)

Trouble is they all know their "rights" but never their responsibilities. D4 HSE Lux for me
FL2 HSE Zermatt & Alpacca for the wife now gone
Skoda Yeti L&K for the wife.

When the Open University for the Perpetually Offended (aka Twaatter) backs them to the hilt, then this what you end up with
