Yes, we all need to plant a lot more trees...............to even just start to replace the 1.5 acres of forest apparently destroyed every second across the World!!

[Varche]

Agreed

But as per my original post where to plant these trees promised by the political parties?

Not in my back yard seems to be the unanimous vote so far......

[dave the builder]

My Omega only "lets out" sugar and spice and all things nice 
no "petrol soaked coal" Lizzie
there by .... all the petrol I put in ,which is quite a bit  gets converted to nice things 
I'm doing my bit for global warming, I've let Mrs Builder have 2 chunks of coal for the fire today alone 
and she's had the tumble dryer on (though that vents to a heat exchanger to heat my koi pond)

Im willing to fell it myself, onto the middle of the allotments obviously

Get a professional in.  They cut it down from the top and nothing longer than a foot or two hits the ground.

his Bank Balance however won't fair so well 

cutting down costs very little to DIY , some petrol, 4 stroke mix and bar n chain oil ,say £5
the cost  is getting rid of it all ,say £500 in skips
to get rid of someone else's rubbish

Just stop at the petrol and add matches, surely?

the carbon neutral approach 
too close to my house and others
plus crappy conifers don't burn well
smoke would trigger the fire alarm ,if I don't answer the call from that, the in-laws are next on the call list

Not in my case

I have a great big field which is part of a major park in Ashford behind my home.  As far as I am concerned I would love them to plant broad leaf trees right across it!

I have planted three trees in my daughters garden this year, with more to come!

To try and compensate for some of the pollution my 3.2 causes Dave, I have cut my red meat / all meat consumption by up to 75%.  It appears that a great deal of the world's forests are disappearing to make way for more cattle farming, so I am just doing my (very) little bit to reduce that problem!

Are you saying your 3.2 is so thirsty on petrol ,you can't afford to eat meat   

time to sell a few shoes and handbags Lizzie 

speak to TB for advice about opening an Ebay account

Oh no, I can well afford the Omega, just want to help the planet!

Sell a few shoes and handbags?   Never!  If it was a choice between them and the planet................shoes and handbags would win!

I certainly would never use Ebay, especially now TB seems to be the owner
