As we are now in an energy crisis I think we have to consider just what it's doing to the environment.
I mean, we all use too much energy don't we? We consume too much, we throw away too much.
And that is why I think we should introduce a new law! Using too much energy is a HATE CRIME, against Planet Earth!
Yes, I'm serious!
You see, every time Rupie takes me out in his car we work out our carbon footprint. To offset this we go into our favourite coffee shop and order something that we don't really like but do so anyway as it's better for the environment.
Sometimes we leave it because we're not keen but we like to think that the drinks will get recycled to the next people who come in. We've certainly asked for them to not be thrown away!
We're such good people, pay it forward and all that!
But really, going back to the law - if calling people bad names is a hate crime then why isn't being nasty to the planet?
It's a living thing too isn't it? It's even got a gender with it being known as Mother Earth - I do hope people respect her pronouns.
I must say though, I'm not looking forward to this winter and all the money we'll be expected to pay on gas just to keep warm. I think me and Rupie will just turn everything off during the day and go and sit in a cafe with our laptops and buy a single coffee between us. Should cover it!
