Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I have, in the very distant past, when I chaned myself to gates of nuclear power stations in the Netherlands, read that both options are viable.
Personally, untill we find a way to neutralise and re-use the rest material, nuclear power is a nono!

Did you ever go to Greenham Hanneke or was that before you came to the UK?

It was rather humiliating! I was only 16 so when we were cut loose and arrested, they called my dad to come and pick me up! So I was driven off in my dad's car, in the "child's seat" while the others went in the riot van to the police station? 😂😂😂

Yeah... I was a tad different ;) my dad admitted it was his fault for getting adult books out of the library for me from the age of 9, and I don't mean "that" type of adult ;) He also had me reading the paper, think critically and loving nature so a recipe for a protesting stroppy teenager rather than a clubbing one: my sister, who was under the influence of my mum! 😂🤣😂

I think I still have my ban the bomb badge somewhere too...

The new Dutch government which is 3hours old has two climate problems - its Nitrogen Crisis being very acute. significant funds set aside to de-intensify Dutch Farming - which will then let them do other things - like build houses.

The Dutch struggle, big time! Have you seen the pig farms? Like multi-story car parks for pigs. Horrid and why my brother in law, pig specialist vet, no longer is a vet. He could not cope with pumping antibiotics and growth hormones into the poor things, as that was what his job became.

I really despair, as this intensive meat and dairy production can simply be reduced to manageable levels IF and this is the issue, we were prepared to eat less and better quality, i.e. grass fed, free range, organic meat and dairy. Also we, as a nation, consume far too much dairy... Pumped full of antibiotics to prevent mastitis and growth hormones and pregnancy hormones to keep a good flow of milk. It is not healthy or sustainable!

In favour of the Netherlands' environmental credentials, I heard yesterday they had stabilised the bee population with some direct intervention(s) last year. I shall try to find a quotable source for that!

About This Thread

Maintained by HappyG(rrr)
Hi
I've seen environment (whether emissions, power, climate change, access to countryside, whatever you think of as "environment") discussed in various threads: Politics (obviously), the Electric Car thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/electric-car-anyone-61481/ , run free's excellent "Competitive Running and Keeping The Environment Clean" fetcheveryone.com/forum/running-competitively-keeping-our-environment-clean-60907/ my own Greta Thunberg thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/greta-thunberg---jfk-for-the-climate-generation-61044/ etc. but I haven't seen a general one.

So here it is. For those interested in the science, the politics, the action for (and I'll state that for me, this is mostly pro-environment, anti-emissions, anti-pollution etc.) and the hope for the future of our planet.
