Well we all know that the largest carbon footprint left by a car is when it is built, not when it is used, so my 1932 Standard must be the most environmentally sound car on here! Perhaps we could save the planet by driving vintage and classic cars more often.

We still deciding whether to move, or to upgrade the fleet. I have my eye on something which is 100 years old now. |

Plus they are probably transported half way around the world in huge numbers, bought and then worn only once. Coppers are the worst for man-made fibres - practically the whole uniform is synthetic. Should make it out of hemp, there'd be a satisfactory irony in that. It's death by velcro, believe me. |

That kind-of defeats most people's idea of having a holiday......... Exactly! I’d drive a more eco friendly car before I stopped having nice holidays..... I guess what I meant more was people (especially celebs and the like) who go on lots of long trips and then proudly say to the world that they've carbon offset the miles, in some sort of super-virtue signalling way. |

Travel for leisure is one thing that distinguished humans from the rest of the animals on the earth - we shouldn't have to give it up and go back to primitive times where we spend our entire lives a stone's throw from our home
