How often can we really apply this to ourselves? The only way it applies to me currently is not driving – not by choice. Could I be more mindful of squandering our precious resources – yes. When writing sustainability checklists I am reminded of all the headline issues including the Government’s requirement that all houses incorporate an EV charger.
By encouraging the use of electric cars this also encourages the extremely destructive processes used to extract lithium for batteries. How is this sustainable? Dorset Climate Change Network’s remit is to educate communities and individuals to reduce our carbon footprint whilst appreciating the environmental cost of living in a clean, green sustainable world.
