A thin rat broth made with fresh herbs and wild garlic. Actually tastes nicer than you remember nandos used to taste.

Vegetable stew all week for dinner

Weekly trip to the pictures once a week if you're lucky (aye you don't own a telly any more)

You get a code that allows you to use the local library computer one hour a week (you sold last week's for two chicken legs)

The 1970's, basically.

To start changing things each company needs to add 'cigarette' style packaging warnings to their products.

Buying this will kill 'x' amount of wildlife (with pics), destroy 'x' amount of rain forest, and put 'x' amount of carbon in the air bringing heat death 'x' amount of time closer.

Then we can all weigh up what we are each willing to destroy based on each persons individual morality.

Except it's one of the happy episodes - a zoom-out at the end reveals the scientist in a utopian paradise; they were simply running a computer simulation of what might have been. Whew!

Then it zooms out again and it was all the delusion of a battery-farmed pig undergoing evil mind experiments (if you look closely you'll see it's the same pig from the first episode).

"you what!"

More like if you pick up a pack of plastic toothpicks from Poundland, and it says making this product killed a bunch of canaries, burned down 2 metres of rain forest, added a ton of carbon to the air and will end up wedged in a Beluga blow hole, you might just use your finger nail to pick out that scrap of Goblin burger.

One thing we can take from all of this, it's still all about "ME"

you're absolutely right.



you (some of you) are all very left leaning when it comes to brexit et al., but when gout_pony or another poster try to start a thread about the environmental crisis you just act like sneering conservative cunts.

you think you don't care that humanity is going to be wiped off the planet (or even for a few nutcases really want it to happen), but you're completely delusional. maybe you don't understand that it's going to happen much sooner than you think, probably during your lifetime, or that our fate is linked with the fate of the planet. and when you're going to be directly affected by it (or your family, your friends etc.) your nihilistic approach of existence won't last long.

nah. and that's something to be thankful for, we're (well, some of us) the last generation to enjoy all the delicious fruits of this wonderful world before the whole place gets glassed. obviously if you have kids they are fucked

In the last couple of years I've turned into Paul Joseph Watson's dad and this place pushed me over the edge.

Do we have an approximate date for the end of the fucking world? I'd like to go upstairs and get ready.

You're not wrong chviek, and good for you gout_pony.

I'm not a member because I'm busy and knackered (although I am an activist in other areas). Not much more important than the destruction of the planet though, is there?

Hahaha bad luck for you you young cunt. You'll DEFINATELY be alive for it. Hahahaha

Hahaha still chuckling about this hehehe.

For all your youthful zest and munching the happy placebos like popcorn, your gonna die of thirst like the rest of us!

Hang on, it says 'WHAT don't you join Extinction Rebellion'. It should be 'WHY' I think. I think it should.

I don't think it's going to be thirst that kills us, if anything we're going to have too much water.

Yeah but the ocean so we'll be thirsty. Either way I don't care. I'm not dying of thirst, I'll be killing and killing anything and everything to stay alive and when I'm genuinely done, I'll kill myself and go straight to heaven.

You make it sound like Fist Of The North Star, it sounds like a situation you will thrive in.

I'll definitely have to watch that. It always sounded too violent for me.

I know you're being facetious, but I think this would be a great idea. All non-recyclables should have "NON-RECYCLABLE" pasted all over the front in big black-on-white letters. Food and drink thats come from another country should have carbon footprint details (of the transport or "if everyone in the UK had one of these this week" type thing at least, probably the individual coffee etc doesn't contribute enough). Same with other goods - if the producer isn't carbon neutral (or maybe close to) their products get a big mark on them. Petrol car owners should be forced by law to have a bumper sticker that says "this car contributes to climate change", and all new petrol cars have it etched into the metal itself.

Then consumers can still choose the bad option if they want, and manufacturers can still produce crap, but no one's deluding themselves and there's a level of social shaming.

Not sure what you do about weapons manufacturers though. Maybe when a foreigner gets blasted by a bomb it also throws recyclable confetti in the air that spells out "the metal fragments embedded in your chest were produced and shipped in a non-sustainable way".

Does seem a bit harsh on people with a limited income if the imported food turns out to be cheaper. Disabled people often have no option but to use a car given how inaccessible public transport is for disabled people and how limited charging points for electric cars, so they should be exempt.

Perhaps a small carbon footprint chart would be helpful on food of the same price as it allows us to make a decision. I know country of origin is on a lot of food but how many people look at that.

We should also do more to reward people for using public transport by nationalising it so we can reduce the cost of train and bus journeys and build light rail options in more cities. Also have a map of charity shops in every town and city so people know where to buy second hand clothing and books from and make donations at to reduce consumption.

Also build a network of segregated cycle lanes throughout the UK to make cycling safer (I wouldn't feel safe cycling where I live due to dangerous drivers) and try and make pavements more pleasant to walk on (including measures against pavement cyclists) to promote walking. Increase the number of pedestrian crossings. All new buses should have to have two wheelchairs spaces and one pram space.

Ironically we'd be in a much better place if we'd adopted more nuclear stuff in the 80's and 90's, something 'greens' rallied against.

instead of burning fossil fuels we should burn hippies imo.

Sebastian Cobb

Maybe we should just kill poors, it doesn't sound like their lives are going to be worth living once they've been priced out of everything remotely enjoyable.

Cuellar

Burn social media and advertising to the ground so no one wants anything anymore. No one will care about going on holidays to sunny beaches, no one will care about the clothes they wear, no more botox, no more unhappiness. Just earthy fucking in nature, with no teeth and rotten shoes, but it won't matter. Nothing will matter.

Sebastian Cobb

This seems like an alright idea, far less regressive than just pricing out poorer people.
