larkim Jul 2020 7:30pm, 1 Jul 2020 11,389 posts	0 larkim I'm no greenie, but I like tech, and if I can combine being less damaging with being more techy then I'm all in favour! And even better if it saves me money along the way... (Plus being hounded by my well qualified sister who disavows me of any foolish notions that it isn't as bad as most scientists are saying helps to convince me to be greener!)

rf_fozzy Jul 2020 9:03pm, 1 Jul 2020 10,498 posts	0 rf_fozzy Gobi - recycling will reduce your environmental footprint (assuming that the company contracted by the council where you live in isn't just dumping it in Turkey....), a bit (of course more important that you first reduce and then second reuse where possible). But recyling has a negligible impact on CO2 emissions.
Gobi Jul 2020 9:07pm, 1 Jul 2020 70,623 posts	0 Gobi Like I said I'm not in any way Green and I dont pretend to be. I ride bikes to race not to commute. I have 4 motor vehicles. If I can get an EV in the next year it will happen but like I say this is not really driven by environmental concerns.

The reality is most/ mamy will be put cash before ethics, so there challenge is to get people incentivised to be green by making it the good value option. I'm not so different to that either tbh.
