Hello Tricia  I hear what you're saying. But don't you think it's more the fault of the BBC (and other channels) for offering people like Michael obscene amounts of money to make these progs, and funding all those flights?? Paradoxically, they are the ones who are always showing us programmes about global warming & climate change, but....! (And I don't know if you know it, but Palin flew back to England several times for a 'break' in the middle of making that series!) Like it or not, air flight is here to stay - there's no going back now. And that schedule flight to Benidorm (say!) will still go there whether you, I, or anyone else is on it! I think this 'personal carbon footprint' stuff is just another ploy to make us feel guilty (amongst many others) and take the flak away from those who are really messing up the planet. I fly perhaps once a year, and have no intention of changing this. I highly resent having to pay huge taxes on said flight, which is often 3 times the actual cost of the ticket!  Politicians are the worst culprits in this area. They are the ones who fly most, slap on the taxes, and flight costs never come out of their own pockets. Disgraceful. I thought video conferencing was invented to avoid this!! Anyway...that's my 2p worth.... Quote |
