Miro o Maybe but tell Caroline Lucas that when she has said flights perhaps once every few years. Also jets flying half full is a waste but if you have paid for a ticket and the palne won't fly unless it's full would cause some consternation. Also why did Emma Thomson fly over from LA? Seems a bit wasteful as does all the litter left. As for folk gluing themselves to Waterloo bridge id leave them there. Simply doing that is wasting police time as they can't be left there and undermines the validity of the "protest" in my eyes.
In any case I rode to work again as I do every day and my lunch today is baked potatoes and baked beans. Not because it green, because it cheap, filling and fuels me.
One practical issue maybe you campaigners can bring up is recycling. First waste should be recycled in The u.k, there enough of it and businesses like mine should have the option of recycling. Currently all my council offers is card board recycling but Joe blogs public fill my card recycling bin full of there fucking rubbish which pisses me off and if you see me in my big blue bin you'll understand why I might not be so polite. Metal and plastic waste is in the general refuse. There is no extra recycling offered like there is at home with the same council. Therefore business need help too. Then I would probably get charged for 4 bin collections rather than 2. No point in being green if adds to the cost base and is optional. I think that's a solvable issue if government gave a monkeys.
As for middle ground why let the most "extreme" make the most noise because that's all people like me hear.
