--- Quote from: "Stormin" ---Sunday lunch NZ lamb and African beans? :shock:  For 58 years I've been mislead.  I thought it was roast beef and yorkshire pudding.  :D

You can have Argentinian Beef and American flour then  :(stoopid):

The general public simply have no idea that their food travels great distances and that this is a major factor in climate change.  Even if you say NZ lamb to them it still won't click immediately.  The media say nothing about this. The supermarkets don't even have an extra special very expensive section for local produce where we can have the option.  The environmentalists will always target 4x4s first because they're easy for most people to do without so it doesn't effect them in the slightest.  The they might go on to flight, but tone it down so that the annual trip to Spain doesn't make people feal guilty, even after they progress to energy efficiency in the home I still don't think they'll ever get round to discussing imported food.   :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

I'm always made to feel guilty about my Land Rover by people who can't be bothered to weigh up how much carbon the rest of my lifestyle produces, or theirs for that matter. There are some really dedicated environmentalists out there that know their facts and see the whole picture .  I applaud these people  =D> , but unfortunately they are a select few who are highly qualified.  The rest of the public (many with too much time and too little information) are at the mercy of the media as always.

<Monthly carbon rant over>  :D
