  • what happens to old worn tyres?

    ok just about every car bus lorry or pram uses them, and when they burn they give off oil and huge plumes of carbon rich smoke, so when an tyre has gotten a slight case of baldness, and is not legal where there they go?

  • why is it so difficult to accept that the planet is changing?

    there is so much doubts about the planet and the rapid changes in the temperature of the atmosphere but the signs are so obvious can we ask that for those that don't or can't accept why not?

    the evidence is there:

    ice caps.

    sea temperature.

    permafrost.

    glaciers

    winter bournes

    aquifers

    sea acidity

    diseases

    bore holes drying up

    tornado's

    tropical storms

    hurricanes

    seasons out of place

    permanent snow lines

    and many more is it so hard to see? why is it people don't want to think that there use of hydrocarbons and the emissions by human actions is killing the planet?

    there are natural events that can influence the air we breathe but they are dwarfed by the effects of humans so what is the problem of people who doubt?

  • can we live without our modern lifestyles?

    plastic plastic plastic! plastic bags plastic boobs plastic, plastic food, sandwiches that taste of plastic milk cartons and those cute but impossible to recycle milk pots given out in cafes, is it true that waste not want not? everything, so please could i ask the world, can we in the west ever really give up our daft waste of the worlds natural resources.

    and if we won't or can't what do we do when the oil run out, and we have well, burnt and buried all that plastic?

    have you ever noticed that just about everything is covered in a plastic bag food to toys, chemicals to electronics, is there really a need or is it just all waste?

    there are some people that talk about the 'green pound,' i don't think it means that a pound coin covered with algae, but seriously is there a green pound and since the woman or man in the street, has to buy what is on offer how can they be green?

    so, how do we do it?

    if the west cars, vans trucks, factory chimneys belching out smoke and flue gases day after day, how do we really truly and sincerely go green?

    how do we really do that?

  • what is the point of all of us being told to recycle?

    today in the news the recycling companies are having problems with selling recycled products, so what is the point? should it be the case anyway that plastic glass, and other materials be recycled anyway or are we all just going to accept that its only ok to recycle so longs as there is profit in it, and what can i ask do we do if these greedy companies cant profiteer out of recycling?

    so here we are again the earths resources are being wasted and here again how should we all decide on what any waste not just the stuff in the green bin, but any waste how should that waste be treated?

  • what are the implications of population or is it just bust?

    as the world just carries on spinning and the population keeps on accelerating what are the implications long term for people and the earths natural resources?

    or is the human race just so stupid it really does believe it can go on burning and breeding, and if so what then?

    some people have made all sorts of ideas in the way of movies and the strange ideas of Soylent Green and so on, but is that a real possibility or just fake?

    really what will the world do and what injuries will the world be left with when the natural resources are all gone?

  • why are we making waste? and what need does it all have?

    isn't it true that life today is all about waste and nothing but that? cheap rubbish from high street shops clumsy cheap electronic goods most of which never see there days beyond there guarantees and the endless waste that supermarkets and there plastic food wrapped in plastic why are we doing this?

    it seems just a senseless waste so why?

    and if we take the petrol out of cars is such a bad thing, after all there is so much talk about fantasy cars and there fantastic range of oil burning abilities so what about no petrol cars at all?

    and the usual bin fodder also known as carbon rod batteries and there Rechargeable friends do we need all that?

    and if we do, what about all the toxic by-products and the end of the products use fullness or when it goes out of fashion or some manufacturer decides to flog more potential rubbish as an new standard what are we doing?

  • When Will The UK have a Green Debate?

    well since the pope believes that somehow, and in some warped way that gender influences what the worlds climate and i cant see how gender does, can we have some common sense please!

    ok is Great Britain really that green or is it just a by-word for acting the act, but when it comes to actions its all fog.

    has anyone actually noticed that all those nice jute bags and endless bag for life episodes has still not stopped people from using the really useless plastic carrier bag?

    and who really does know what happens to all the bin fodder that the modern world creates where does it really all go, all those TV sets, old nappies, and food wrappers, or are we just told to be green but at the end of the day its all a load of rubbish, (please excuse the accidental pun).

    i have never seen any true recycling schemes and just how much rubbish is still being dumped and why?

  • USA green or just more smoke and mirrors?

    hey ok the end of the Bush regime is in sight does anyone, and i do mean anyone really believe in the USA oil gluttony will end? i don't, ever, since the addition to the rather useless mineral sludge has become a state of affairs in that the USA is dependent on, so i would like to ask as anyone ever protested, (other than throwing shoes) at the USA and there strange dependency on oil, and what about old blighty, i mean here in the UK we are still burning oil, so with all the technology and the science why? if people are supposed to be sooooo clever then why are cars so dependent on oil? and in the USA they have soooo much room and so much supposed know how then why are they still so dependent on oil?

    and what about recycling, since it has been revealed now that local councils are in fact not recycling but in fact burning and dumping is there any faith left in the drive to recycle?

    and one final point who does care about what happens to the world, i would love to hear from those who do!
