Brilliant to see the club fully committed to this very worthy initiative. Habitat creation, wildlife enhancement and of course a continued commitment to No Mow May along with all those other associated aspects vital to each and every one of us. So much more understanding of the natural world is now apparent and the part sites can play in it too. Well done to all sites who have gained those accolades be they gold or otherwise. Keep up the good work and keep the good work ‘growing’!

Its old age. I have a modern car having given up the MH. All I said was that my car was more modern than me and it was old age  that made me change.

Don’t understand that term ‘eco trash’, surely we recycled, reuse far more of our after use materials today compared with the past. This whole change in our attitude to waste has change as a result of the growing Green Agenda over recent decades. I can’t remember the exact figures but our modern day vehicles are built from far more recyclable after use materials than those of old.👍

Exactly what I said- a modern car with all its benefits. Done purely as everything else without the eco fanfare.

Having done all that the eco warriors now want to stop me using my car and ride a bike at 80+ years. The mad car tax in London, 20 mph in rural Wales etc,. etc. As Littlejohn in todays Daily Mail said- One of the biggest storms in the UK was in 1703- " before Global Warming was invented". Says it all.

Oh, and let’s not forget how less polluting they (vehicles) now are and things are improving further. All down to the Green agenda and those who have been the movers and shakers in this change. Of course the anti-eco naysayers will often jump to extremes to justify their belief, or lack of support, they can be as equally unhelpful to the cause as the extreme eco warriors. The later may have a point or two to bring to our attention but they often go about it in the wrong way.

So in summary,  I’m not talking about those extreme eco activists who help the cause little, just the huge ground swell of ordinary people who just want a cleaner, better world and relationship with nature. We, the majority, can celebrate but not too much mind, still lots more to do!

Says nothing, storms were freak and very uncommon in the UK in those centuries mentioned. The intensity and frequency today of storms we experience says it all. Today’s extreme weather events are not just experienced in the UK but across the world! The global data in my lifetime and before proves it! Unfortunately it seems global warming was ‘invented’ by us!

Of course there were severe storms before but what is important is the increased regularity occuring now. Note the two in the last week or so.

Post edit, sorry micky didn't see you had made the same point.

Without 24 hour news et al we dont  have real facts of the past or how often they came. Yesterday may have been the usual winter weather.

I feel you’re clutching at straws now, Fish. It as plain as the nose on your face that weather events world wide are becoming more frequent. Deny it all you like but it’s self evident.
