Green Football Weekend
Just shown on the local news here in the East, Alastair Campbell and Ed Balls arriving at Carrow Road for the match yesterday on a tandem.
Looking at their clothing (especially Balls) they could have only cycled from Morrisons which adjoins Carrow Road.
Absolute tokenism!
I thought the whole concept of Green Football Day was a complete waste of time.

Utter sham.
Like everything else that involves a politician, an ex-politician, and Alastair Campbell.

Winds me up.
If Sky wanted to make a difference, use your influence to make public transport available for all fans to travel to games.
Probably 15k cars drove to Carrow rd on Saturday.

When you've got Nottingham Forest flying to a game at Blackpool I think it's obvious nobody in football is too concerned.

Re: Green Football Weekend
My last green purchase was a hot bin composter.
Friend told me about them.
Not cheap, but you put all excess food and greens from the garden.
It simply eats waste and turns it into compost so quickly. All out waste food for 12 months was eaten by it.
None went to land fill.

Re: Green Football Weekend
Standard virtue signalling tripe. If they genuinely wanted a green weekend why were we not all travelling to our local derbies?
Us at Norwich, Bristol at Preston,
Cardiff at Hull, Sunderland at Millwall, that's just our division. The Prem saw London clubs on Merseyside, in Manchester and in the Northeast. What a load of guff!

Re: Green Football Weekend
Having a week where it's all local derbies would be a great way to encourage use of public transport and active travel IF fans could be trusted to behave themselves. But they can't so it won't happen because of safety/policing concerns.Caballo wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 9:17 pmStandard virtue signalling tripe.

"Green Football Weekend raises awkward questions about the game’s readiness to start taking genuinely ambitious action"
I'm sure some will be uneasy sharing an opinion on virtue signaling and tokensim with the Gaurdian.

Campbell could find a cure for cancer tomorrow, but all our little closet tories would still be queueing up for a little snipe at him on here.

Elwa does not think he needs to his bit, and many others don’t as well.
That s why we don’t make progress on these issues.
It’s everyone’s else’s problem

Re: Green Football Weekend
Extremely presumptuous of you, Lowbank. Quite contrary I use the car about 3 times a week, 1. Going to Uni, 2. Getting the shopping for us and my elderly parents/disabled sister and 3. Taking the dogs for a change of scene Once a week.Lowbankclaret wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 10:31 pmAnd in that post that’s all that’s wrong with the world.

I can't believe they want to change society but have the audacity and hypocrisy to take part in it.Acting Claret wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 10:37 pmIt was funny watching them talk about it at noon with the floodlights on.
Re: Green Football Weekend
How many clubs decided to travel by coach instead of flying? How many actually changed their behaviour for one weekend? Precious few, I'll bet.

It was Labour supporters he let down with his BS. Did huge damage to the party by making fools out of the ones that believed him.

Alistair needs to fill his time after losing his tv gig . Gossip site “ popbitch “ reported it as “inappropriate texting young staff and crew members “ He was actually a damn good henchman for Blair though a total and utter shameless charlatan in his post political career .

Re: Green Football Weekend
Such vitriol about a mostly none-event that had no impact on anyone. Some people on here just love getting all het up about nothing. Might as well rant at the clouds.

Yep, that's about the level of it.
Re: Green Football Weekend
The point about the Green weekend as I understand it it was not that you change everything but that you do something. Give it some thought as to what you can practically do.

Composting contributes to global warming by producing carbon dioxide, but composting actually reduces the amount of greenhouse gases the waste would otherwise produce.elwaclaret wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 10:00 pmCommendable, but I’m not sure stuff that degrades to compost is a major environmental concern, but you got some top notch compost so alls good
By composting organic waste, we can help break down waste instead of letting it fill up and mummify in landfills. Organic waste in a landfill will undergo anaerobic fermentation, which releases a lot of methane into the atmosphere.

Apparently you can even chuck compostable plastic stuff in these.
Out of interest have you done?
Re: Green Football Weekend
How much plastic waste is there after a typical home game with all the pints and bene served in them?

Re: Green Football Weekend
We have put most things in you would expect.
Cooked food stuffs even meat.
All the peelings and stuff you cut off before cooking.
About 20 tomatoes plants from the green house at the end of the summer.
When we put the tomatoe plants in it was full to the top and 5 days later it was under half full.
We have had it a year and it’s only half full as it reduces stuff down so quickly. And all our household waste has gone in it.
Yes I have put recycling plastic in, not much of it but it has gone.
You can put shredded paper in, we bought a shredder and it broke first time we used it and not replaced it as yet.
It’s says you can put cardboard in as well. Which I have not tried.
There is a fluid drain which you can open that gives you a plant feed in concentrated form.
