In which case I believe a plastic bag over the head with tape to seal it is quite possibly the most logically way forward. If you can't make a difference at all then what really is the point?


Plastic bag??

Dont we need oil to make plastic bags??


Yep we sure do, in fact the more you think about it we need plastic for a lot of things. Wink

I don't get on Vorb much these days, too busy doing biofuels obligation work, energy and transport strategies for the government etc. Double Thumbs Up

Happy to try and give a foundation of solid fact, and a thin veneer of offical government position to this forum (note that they are not always the same thing!!! Oooooooh )

Good job starting this up Tama, you rock!

Careful Vanman, solid facts are ruthlessly dissected and critiqued with reference to alternative hypotheses. Sometimes.

Heading into a meeting last month I got asked by some young lady where I had travelled from to get here. The reason being is they wanted to off set my carbon by planting a tree. What a crock of emotional offset. I told them I was from NZ so they would need to plant a load of trees, forget that I rode a bike here.
