Keyboard ecologists

Poor Rachel Stewart traumatised by the imminent demise of our planet, consoles herself by driving her V6 4x4 and planning her next overseas trip. It’s like Greenpeace heading out in a fossil fuel-powered boat to protest oil exploration.

I am tired of listening to the rants of keyboard eco warriors and doom sayers who insist we all make drastic changes to reduce our collective carbon footprint. Rachel, before you write another article decrying such evils as having children, being white, male or enjoying sport (go Team NZ) why don’t you crush your 4x4, get a bike (no tyres or plastic as that uses oil), stop all air travel and only use items that are organically produced in your neighbourhood. Then you might have some credibility.
