And as they point out, the telephone directories are compostable (which may be the only use they get). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently told my daughter to look in the Yellow pages for a window repair person, she asked if I kept a copy by my pension book - the very cheek! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the odd things I find about all these Biosphere events is that they mainly seem to be aimed at 'business'. Of course how many people from business turn up or whether it's just the usual suspects is another matter, but even allowing for that there seems to be little effort to reach out to the wider public. As with so much else it seems to be mainly about making soothing sounds to the 'right' people. Which usually means each other. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only a few sticks at the real people's wood. I'd rather have the money than a fourth sapling, so I can buy some coal to stash before it's banned.

CallMeCurious Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/check-your-carbon-footprint-small-firms-advised/ No doubt they'll have some licensed software you'll need to certify this and it'll be on a subscription basis. Voluntaritly of course. Maybe you'll get a little badge or rating like an LED lamp*. So more red tape for no direct benefit to the business. And once enough fools sign up for it, it'll become mandatory and fees to register with the government. Meanwhile... China...India.... Wonder how long it'll be before you'll have an individual carbon dioxide score displayed on a badge if you want to use public amenities. *When all you can buy nowadays is LED, what is the point of the A-F rating if they are all A rated anyway?

What qualifies this chap to be lecturing businesses on their carbon footprint? And how did he get here? Flying I presume? Maybe bought fake carbon offset credits to greenwash the trip?

Knows a guy called Del who'll send him a photo and a 'tificate to prove he planted two and half trees to offset the carbon. Cross me 'art guv'nor. As they say there is one born every minute.. unfourtunately they all seem to be in charge at the moment. Meanwhile it looks like Crogga are jangling the shiny keys already, I hope they succeed.

TheTeapot Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 All the small businesses being told to check their carbon footprint should join together and scream 'its always fucking windy and you havent built any wind turbines, fuck off until you've done that and then we'll talk'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
