I grew up in London but now currently in the midlands.
Glass has not been recycled by the local council for almost 10 years that i know of, and it has to be put in the green land fill bin..
So many plastics and other stuff also cannot be put in either, so i beg to differ sometimes about recycling. It’s not always easy or cost effective. Like all this ppe waste being created now.
I rememeber going to school and waiting for the bus on marlebone road, when cars pumped out leaded fuels. Even petrol cars are now getting DPF and Things are alot better polution wise imo, than they was back then. How are we all here still? by all as accounts we should be all dead, yet people are living longer than ever.
There is many pro’s and con’s to everything and sometimes man polutes the planet just being here. To keep warm to heat our food. We need energy of some sort. seem though the energy they push is the ones they can monetise and profit from and we the people suffer and pickup the tab, over and over.. we are conned into believing the baised on sided science. Without real evidence. Like how diesels was better than petrol. |Companies lobby and those that lobby the most £££ get what they want implemented.
I do know though that when they reduced speed limits on the roads into london to 50 mph from 70 mph.
I could not get to all the garages that i could do before. Say i worked a 12hr shift and 8 hrs of that was driving.
8hrs x 20 mph = I cannot get to a day anymore and that comes at a huge cost to the ecomomy.
That was almost 20 years ago they started Rolling out the agenda. Now all of centreal london is 20 mph
160 miles thats further than i have to drive to visit my mum and brother in london.
Over a 5 day week we talking 800 miles. Thats just from speed reduction and they doing it now as well all over, to reduce emmissions.
I get it, if i was delivering around central london then an ev would work. but what if you not? this is another issue, as well.
More concerning is the uptake of ai in everything and i am sure alot of people are going to lose there jobs to the technological revolution as they did in the industrial one.. It’s called social engineering and histroy can tell us alot. going off topic, but imo it’s all part of the same net to keep us enslaved and less productive and more and more reliant the state for everything. I do not like where i see the future going and i hope i am wrong.
