ffs people! End this madness!
By which I mean burning fossil fuels.I don't.
Firstly, I don't own a car any more - I'm in a car club so I hire electric vehicles when I need them.

Otherwise I cycle / walk / use public transport (our local buses are now almost all green, too, electric and Hydrogen). Even my 3rd-party emissions are pretty healthy (and I've recently discovered that the small amount of carbon we do use can be offset fairly cheaply with carbon credits. W00t!).
It's bad enough living in a country that produces twice the electricity it needs, and at around 3.7p/kWh and then paying more than ten times that price for actual electricity in our home because we are tied into the bat-shit crazy UK energy market which is linked to gas prices. W. T. F! Meanwhile oil companies rake in billions for their shareholders. Hello?
But I've had enough of all carbon-burning activity. Especially cars.
I'm sick of cars. Of their stink and pollution. And anyone sitting idling a petrol/diesel vehicle needs to be publicly flogged. Then sent to me for a stern talking-to!
Of course, almost no one knows that idling is so polluting because our government completely fails to tell them. Fact is, when it comes to the absolutely necessary "green revolution", our government response is so much more words than action. All talk and no walk.
If you are likewise sick of seeing our UK government renege on their green commitments and squander your future, you can at least sign this petition asking them to stop all new fossil fuel extraction projects..

Not saying it will do much, but it might make you feel a bit better about your own personal part in this fucking tragedy we are all living through.
