And were about as durable as cardboard as well.

You only have to look at classic cars to see how well they survived .
A lot of the padding and sound proofing was made of sacking material, horse hair or felt . Vauxhall which was owned by GM used to recycle the chrome bumpers by applying a surcharge if the old one wasn't exchanged .
A lot of scrapyards provided a recycling service whereby motorists went to them for all sorts of replacement parts. With a lot of modern cars this isn't possible as a lot of parts are programmed in . Also some modern plastics can only be recycled a certain number of times .
When I used to work in a body shop getting rid of the old plastic bumpers was a real problem. They used to get hidden in the bottom of the scrap metal skip .

Morning.
It is dry here with quite bit a bit of cloud about. I can see some blue sky to the South and North .
I think I may have to go on a training scheme as our recycling has changed . Different boxes/ wheelie bin will be used for different products and put out on different days .

I was shocked to hear on Good Morning Britain that air travel has more than doubled in the last 10 years .

I'm happy to not fly anywhere anytime anymore. I did my World travelling earlier in my life (and that only involved three flights). I didn't even bother renewing my passport when it expired 5 or 6 years ago.

MrsPete and I are catching the bus into town for our cheapo Seniors fish & chip lunch today, then walking to the hospital for her appointment.

 

[EltonFrog]

Well, with only three more mortgage payments to go, I expect the Fragrant MrsP and I will be doing a lot more flying in the near future. As far as the socio/environmental/economic consequences are concerned...stuff it. I’m doing my bit, I pick up litter everyday, I don’t waste food, I don’t drive unless I have to, I’ve changed all our lights to led just to name a few things.
The amount of money we spend I sometimes feel we’re keeping the economy going.

I was having thinks !

Some airlines and companies are saying that they are planting trees to offset their CO2 emissions .

So where are these large forrests ? Or is somebody selling the same Forrest to several people ?
