New York and the air quality

Cant be good for animal or plantlife. It wont be long before a whole continent like australia is burnt to the ground
 
As much as it seems like the politicians aren't the answer they 100% are. We can have all the good intentions that we want and individually do the right thing but if governments don't legislate then businesses won't change. It's not even just politicians getting their own countries in order, which is still necessary, but convincing the more emerging economies like the BRIC countries that they should limit their growth by being more environmental is the more urgent (and difficult) issue.

If everyone in the UK was perfectly green it wouldn't make a single difference to the planet. We're 0.85% of the world's population. Our influence is more important than the individual changes we can make.

I'm afraid that you are putting the Cart before the Horse.

politicians are hand sitters - they will only react with any force when they believe the public are with them - that's why its been going on for so long, the general public just haven't done enough to bring the politicians round to their way of thinking.

politicians wont change the way humans are living their lives in any meaningful environment way - they'd be called daft names and lose their elections - Caroline Lucas apart (and she is standing down cos nowts being done in Parliament) - the general public still think theyre spoilsports and cranks, they cant win a raffle, never mind an election.

i thank god for Just Stop Oil - they are brave conscious people who are getting dogs abuse, assaulted and criminal records..

A thumbs up isn't enough for how much I agree with this post. They don't shape opinion. They try to follow it. Plonk themselves right down in the middle of the biggest blob they can find and try to not say anything that might offend them. High ranking civil servants have more influence on the course of the country than politicians.

Even someone like farrage. He just tapped into something that was already there.
 
Yeah , but if you go elsewhere it’s very much a concrete jungle .

Trees are everywhere in London, and it has some huge parks of its own
It really isn't. Manhattan has lots of small squares and parks as well as Central Park. Many of the streets are tree lined and there are lots of greening projects going on, like the High Line.

London doesn't feel as green to me.
