Went for a day out with another family yesterday and I stopped on the way to buy some water as I had forgotten to take mine from the fridge. I spent the rest of the day being lectured to by my friend about plastic use and the environment, all of which I am fully aware of and do my best to limit plastic use but this was a one off and I did recycle the bottle/ Then I was chastised for eating meat (packed ham sandwiches) as her family have all gone vegetarian to save the planet, although her DD said it was because some celebrity said it helped with weight loss
I didn't like to point out that her avocado salad probably wasn't as green as she thought, having been flown half way across the world in plastic packaging and was possibly responsible for deforestation in South America. This is the same person that thinks walking and public transport is for peasants and makes the even shortest journey to the corner shop in a Range Rover. The same person that takes several long haul trips a year.
AIBU to not want to be lectured to about the environment by hypocrites like this?
