I HAVN’T AGREED WITH EVERY DAY AND SO I HAVE OMITTED SOME DAYS. TODAY MAKES A VALID POINT AS WELL AS ASK THE QUESTION.
Day 18: Stop the carbon cop out

"Creative carbon accounting" That’s what Greta Thunberg accused the UK Government of recently. It’s the idea that you can make your statistics look good… without addressing the big picture. She has a point. In the UK we’ve outsourced emissions to the countries that produce our food, clothes and gadgets.
But our targets only aim to reduce the carbon emissions that we produce in the UK - ignoring the emissions from the huge quantities of goods we import. We need to take responsibility for our true carbon footprint… it’s time we set a target to reduce our offshore emissions too.
Will you ask the Government to set a target to reduce these offshore |
