    That’s cruel - you might hurt your feet.

  • Not sure if I can rearrange previous commitments but if not physically present will be there in thought.

    From an article in The Guardian by Chris Packham:

    It’s time to rouse ourselves from this complacent stupor, because we are presiding over an ecological apocalypse. But it is not too late. There is hope we can hold on to, and there is action we can take.

    I’ve been organising the first People’s Walk for Wildlife, which takes place in London this Saturday from midday. Everyone is invited – foresters, reserve wardens, teachers, students, children, scientists, artists, bloggers, activists, volunteers, gardeners. We are going to sing songs, play birdsong from the missing birds and share our love of all species.


    One farmer quoted in the manifesto argues that we must all rethink the way we live, shop, cook and eat “so that we wean ourselves off the damaging farming that has fed us cheaply, but at an appalling price to nature”. The manifesto is only a first draft. Some ideas will be criticised. Many of you will have other great ideas. Let’s share them, debate them, and take decisive steps to save the wildlife that enriches every single one of us.

    Well I am sure that will make all the difference! What a complete waste of time.

    I know.
    It hasn't/won't work with anything. People getting together round a cause, feeding off each other's energy and then talking to others about it.
    Let's all stay in silos and ignore anything outside our immediate area.
  • Yeah booo protecting Britain's wildlife, boooo volunteering your time for a good cause, BOOOO GIVING A SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN MYSELF BOOOOOOO.

    (Sounds fun, I'll be there if possible :smile: )

    Maybe nothing does but I feel better about myself for doing something. Armchair philosophers are worthless really.
    How do you feel about the Charlton protests? Are they worthless as well?

    "Nothing will ever change"

    What about the fact that our plant and animal species are literally going extinct?

    Has being on the cool side of the culture war really driven you to not care about the natural world being destroyed?
  • Really glad I wasn't even born then - wtf was wrong with the lot of you?

    Naff all I can do about it so no point in worrying about it.
  • Wildlife is under ever increasing pressure and anything which can highlight this is a good thing. A flourishing eco-system and bio-diversity are crucial to our own survival.

    Two very good books which show how important nature is for the economy, health and well-being of the world are written by Tony Juniper, they are 'What nature does for Britain' and 'What has nature ever done for us?'.
