I don't know what to believe. Our schools going crazy over it (first Carbon Neutral in the uK, possibly the world ... who gives a shit) We just got solar panels (in England!?) and theres a board inside telling us how much power is making, our Physics teacher took a look and says the panels are creating less energy than the board requires so we're giving off more Carbon or whatnot!
We've had energy bikes in (pedal power a TV etc.) Bulbs are the hardest. UK is getting new bulbs in which save energy trouble is they are crap, they give off next to no light at all!
I know its a problem but we can only sort it out as a team so I'm only making the changes when everyone else does. At the end of the day, my school being carbon neutral isn't going to make you ask your teachers to do the same. If I unplug my stereo at night (theres an annoying red light on it
) You guys aren't gonna feel you have to do the same. When this is worldwide we need to make an impression by acting big, otherwise it fails.
Plus a lot of causes for Gobal warming are natural which we can't stop. Heathrow have to cut Co2 emissions for their new runway (I bet they won't do it). With the amount of planes going around we ain't gonna don't ways and with China we're all screwed unless they pull it out.
Also UK is getting criticized for not cutting enough emissions for the 2012 sites (we now have to pay more). WTF? This rule obviously didn't count in Beijing. Running was made difficult their emissions were so high, I can assure they ain't over here!
