SAVING THE PLANET

[LancsLassie]

Since when did fruit and veg have anything to do with destroying the planet? The only time that would happen is if it has a travelling life of days to get to us. And harsh chemicals are used to grow it.

So much can be produced by local farmers. And we can buy seasonal once again like Gran used to do. We can insist our local butchers buy their meat from local farmers.

All of this yes is drastic I agree. But if you watch David's programme you have two choices. You can do this or maybe some of it. Or you can carryon the way you are going. One way will save our Planet. And the other way will Kill It.

Its as simple as that. I am responsible for my son even though he is 31 now. I have lived here all my life. I am spoilt to death. I know which way I am going with this.

fnar @ lentil weaving.

The one piece of sage wisdom from the original thread that I plan to take with me is to eat off of my furniture. I think David would be proud.

I do know who David Attenborough is. It just wasn't completely obvious from the OP that he is who you were talking about. Soz.

Don't know any local farms in Fulham. There is a trendy "farmers market" which recently opened at the broadway but I refuse to pay squillions for a lb of apples

Is it Talk Like A Surrealist Hippy day again already?

Look you guys everybody is aware of climate change and the problems with that. Eg. recycling This programme goes into detail. You stop mesing about and watch the programme. I don't particularly care one way or the other what you decide indidvidually to do about the planet. I believe I would personally like to conbtribute myself to saving the Planet.

I'll repeat myself again the programme is Horizon on BBC Channel 4 iPlayer 8.00pm It's on line NOW! Before you have the right to pass judgement one way or the other all I'm SUGGESTING is watch this programme.

You owe it to yourself and your kids and as members of the Planet.

I hope the BBC pay you well Lancs --youloon==

strikeout fail^^

I didn't know I was a member of the planet

Thought it was just mensa and the labour party.

from the OPs other thread...

I won't use my hoover unless that is absolutely necessary. In fact I'm going to buy a ewebank sweeper and stop using my hoover. Because I would rather see a field full of grass and I'm not bothered about bits on my carpet

I used to live near Rawtenstall too, where the OP comes from ... there are some very strange people in that area....

Why do hoovers stop the grass growing?

I think the OP has had two much of the other type of grass, personally.

I am wondering if OP is going to go shopping in Ramsbottom for her Ewebank.

What the fuck's a ewebank? Is it a sheep?

Well if you hover up the roots then they cant grow, so the fields are all empty..Somebody think of the poor grass

It could be a place where you go to buy your sheep...

But a ewbank, is a carpet sweeper, that ineffectually picks up bits of the carpet... and were last in use by Old Auntie Mabel in about 1945...

You know you guys. Mumsnet? Anyone would think that you really couldn't care less about this Planet? Or your kids for that matter? And were really just concerned about where the next bottle of vino was coming from?

Thank god for people who do care like David Attenborough. But like I pity most poor children I pity yours.

Your obsessed with Sir David.
If i were him i would want a restraining order

what is with all the "you guys"....

where is the next bottle of vino coming from?

Thank god for people who do care like David Attenborough

No offence love, but I dont think he walks to his locations. I am fairly sure he has a nice fat carbon footprint! As well as a lot of royalties pouring in from the sales of his DVDs.

David Attenborough will be dead soon.

THEN WHAT WILL WE DO?

Hopefully your own... home grown vines, personally squashed by your own dainty feet, and bottled into recycled plastic tubs Vivi...

It may taste like manky dishwater with a touch of vinegar and the odd toenail floating in it.. but by god you will have done your bit for the planet!

Get pissed I should think.

My Dad made a mean home made vino. Very intoxicating. And good for the planet of course. Mind you, he drive an awful lot of fast cars and he once started a fire by throwing petrol on it. I saw him.

Hi Gabby, haven't seen you around in a while! How's it hanging?

he did drive. DUH.
