| “it's not supposed to be a proof! It's not designed for a court of law but for the court of public opinion.” Where we are all encouraged to snitch on our neighbours? Very Orwellian as we move toward carter-land? Whilst I agree that it’s best if people don’t idle their engines, this is largely being addressed by the widespread adoption of stop start technology. My car is 5 years old and has this so many will. Of course those with older cars, possibly the less well off would be more affected. I think I there are better ways to help minimise our planetary impact. Here’s a couple:- - Global enforcement of reproduction rights to limit large families (a global problem not a British one) - richer countries paying South American nations (and African?) annual fees for rainforest preservation on the basis that destruction of these ecosystems are stopped immediately - all celebrities preaching for others to stop or reduce air travel to be required to stop travelling in private jets or first class to reduce their own carbon footprints - foreign aid towards countries with poor records on women’s rights to be wholly targeted towards girls education and birth control to help give them control. Countries not agreeing with this to have aid blacklisted. I’m sure we could come up with more before snitching on our neighbours? |
