Mr Coeur de Lion Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Your footprint is 3.62 planets We've also calculated your carbon footprint, which is 14.02 tonnes per annum.I've always said, I wanted to make a mark with my short time here!Don't think this will be a problem anyway, because a combination of the recession / Middle East / America / Terrorism / China / North Korea / Vampires / Liverpool FC / Amy Winehouse / *the next worldwide event to cause mass hysteria when the previous ones have been gotten used to will probably end the planet anyway.*insert next scare as applicable.

Frenchie Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Tonight, I saw that they are heating the football pitches so the games can take place ( because of the cold); try to imagine the wasted energy that it represents , and all the industry fumes etc.. so I thought what I individually try to do is pointless after all.Une goutte d eau dans l'océan.. Tongiht I had a relaxing bath with lots of bath foam, and NO I don't feel guilty!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Âme Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Une goutte d'eau dans l'océan... ou, la goutte d'eau qui fait déborder le vase?I'm in the process of planting 3 ha woodland surplusto my footprint, so continue to enjoy your pleasures guilt-free, Frenchie, they're covered! [:)]Prof. James Lovelock (Gaia Theory) thinks our efforts are too little, too late for humankind, but that the planet will survive regardless. To stop producing more humans would, I suppose, be the single most effective strategy to aid the planet's recovery. So, it's Thai Green Kiddi Paste for supper. Miam, miam!
