Climate ex

Exchange, eliminate, revolution, whatever it is currently.   I personally I have been irritated by the disruptive behaviour on climate awareness. Not that I disagree with them, just how they are going about it.

Found it hilarious the other day on TV News from London when a commuter opened his briefcase and threw his sandwich box at the protesters on the top of the tube. But mostly I thought what a waste of food!

We are crossing central London in the next few days I have had to solemnly swear to my husband that I will not engage in any knee capping of Climate protesters.  I did point out that the two weeks they have spent on the streets disrupting traffic and people's working lives that we have probably done more good than them. We have:

• planted another tree (our 30th in 5 years)
• ordered another 20 feet of native hedgerow plants to extend our 60 feet of established hedging 
• sown winter vegetables to avoid any food miles for fresh food
• filled another wheelie bin with recycling waste (our council take nearly everything and provide a full size wheelie bin for it). This time I topped it up with old paper correspondence and out of date leaflets.
• used scrap wood for our fire in the evenings rather than turn on the oil fired heating. And put the nails from the pallet wood in a bucket for metal recycling later.

I wonder what each of the Climate protesters has done to make a positive lessening of their personal footprints?  If they had all gone and planted a tree as well as just making a noise UK would be considerably nearer its tree planting/re foresting target!!

Now dear, what about any Remainder protesters? Am I allow to......
