Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

There are several odd people in journalism, you’ll be astonished to learn, and their eco asceticism is so hardcore (to me) that it has a religious zeal.
My wife is in supply chain and sustainability, previously at a water firm, so I know some of the details on resources. And I do think it’s generally not a bad idea to recycle where you can etc, in the same way as it’s best not to litter.
But it (imo) needs tackling in a concerted global way to emphasise the global nature, before that trickles down to measures that are punitive to individuals. Encourage better behaviours, by all means, but (again imo) we shouldn’t right now be clamping down as an already struggling country on our citizens until we’ve done more to seek global cooperation.
As for my hypocrisy comment re your flying, apologies that it came across the way it did. I know a couple of people (the ascetics I’m talking about earlier) who refuse to fly in any circumstances and who think consumer air travel should be banned.
I disagree with them, but it’s certainly… a point of view. I didn’t mean to imply “Ha ha, you’ve been owned, you hypocrite!”, so sorry about that - it’s more about a general view of life (from someone explaining why they eat meat) that unless you have certain things you can justify to yourself, you’ll end up trying to be so puritanical about life that you’ll never enjoy it.
