Milk's impact on the planet dairy, soya, rice, oat and almond compared

I tend to compare mine to people who fly and use other forms of transport that create CO2. I can guarantee that each year, the U75 server alone creates more CO2 emissions than I do per year. Then, if you'd like to take flights into account? (I don't fly) And all of my food comes from within 8 miles of where I live.

Take a car and flights out of your total and you drop your CO2 emissions massively of course. Are these lifestyle facts a happy happenstance, or have you decided to reduce emissions by not flying, driving, etc?
 
Given your propensity to distort this truth in this thread, forgive me if I'm disinclined to believe a word you say..
Believe what you like. That's your pejorative (yes). But please stop preaching about people's negative impact on the planet, when your own is probably far worse.

You do know that you're on U75 right now, yes? If we're adding this all up, a portion of that is yours, as is a portion of the energy used for any other website you visit.

but you don't know that at all. you can only make utterly erroneous assumptions. and it's prerogative.
 
And if you have wind turbines, presumably you bought them. So they were made in a factory by workers who all need to live somewhere, as was of course your phone, your computer, etc. Where do they all live? Could they all live like you or is there not enough land for that?

We're all guilty of that, so that is neatly removed from my equation :D
 
Well.....if you're someone who does use milk this thread makes you feel like you're a wrongun.

Really? Not getting that myself.

Interested in what might be a reasonable alternative for something to add to tea / coffee and occasionly drink a half pint of. Nothing's swinging it so far. I know, it's Barista oat milk apparently but the shops I use don't sell it.
 
The second bit? If we live in flats in cities, we're not all guilty of that bit. It's a very efficient way to live and a necessary way for a goodly proportion of the 7 billion on the planet to live.
Hmmm... no it isn't. I manage quite nicely living in the countryside, and creating considerably less carbon than yo! :D
 
It's not really on disclosing such personal detail in a thread about milk, you know. I'm not even sure what your point is.

Eh? Living in denceily populated housing within cities is generally supposed to be more resource efficient. Common knowledge you live in a flat in Brixton. LBJ wasn't being snide.

It's the conversation quite a few of us have tried to have but sadly we've had to deal with an idiot who think's it all about him and "coloured water."

Like I said repeatedly: humans need to seriously cut back their consumption of dairy produce. What happens on some tiny fantasy farm in Ireland powered by the sparkly breaths of pixies is utterly irrelevant to the big picture.
 
Sure. Can you please provide me with your bank details and hand over your first-born?
every time someone asks you to build on your baseless assertions, you make a childish joke. it's like you don't have a case at all, and are just making stuff up to justify your lifestyle. if you're having to do that, maybe you're doing it wrong?
 
Exactly. He’s eliminated a stack of locations and they’ll be onto you any moment.

Stay indoors. :eek:
You think it's unreasonable to ask that personal details about my home aren't brought up in a thread about milk, FFS?

I'm not knocking how you live, but you live in an interconnected world, and your way of life simply isn't possible for the majority of people who need to make a living in places with people in them, and the fruits of whose labours you yourself need. So the proposition that your way of life has less of an impact than that of a city flat-dweller doesn't really make any sense.

I laugh at you because each and every post you make is either an attempt at putting someone else down or an attempt at... fuck it... you're not worth the effort.

Well, it’s nothing that couldn’t be ascertained by the most cursory Google.

Maybe I haven’t taken everything into account in which case fair enough, but I found a couple of a stranger’s bank cards at the tram stop last week and even with my meagre skills I got enough off the internet in a couple of minutes to pop them through his door on the way home and leave a message on his Facebook.

But that's not the point. This is a thread about milk alternatives, and where I live is totally irrelevant and should not be mentioned unless I decide to bring it up.
