Lesley,
I do wonder how we educate people to lead a better life, not just for now, but for the future.
Some of the issues of concern stlll remain;
1; Big oil companies we see continue to have oil leaks at sea, which must have an
enormous effect on the sea in general
2; Because public transport is expensive are in parts unreliable, and not door to
door, and with todays cutbacks we are to see even bigger rail fare rises, that it
won't commit people out of the comfort of there car to a
poorly lit, unstaffed, and expensive train service
or a bus service where you have no idea whether or not the next bus is coming,
I recently travelled(as a regular user of both bus and rail) to aycliffe by bus
and the bus wanted to travel on, just never turned up!!!
3; As a cllr I wrote to the local paper stating how parents will drive 3 roads away
from home to school, then go back home, cloggng up all the streets between
8am to 9am and 2.30pm and 4pm.
It would be quicker(and healthier) both for the parent's and children to walk.
Just on the subject of school visits, as a pedestrian my road(which has a school)
is cloggeed up, but worse the cars park all over the pavements, and when i try
to get by, they as good as moan, as though I'm the one in the wrong.!!!
Sensible parkng, and thinking of others is the order of the day.
4; Getting big companies to move away from packaging and plastic bottles
much not required.
5; Educating people to use cars less, more so short journeys many can be done
easier by foot
Woops thats more than one liner
will leave t there for now,,,,,,,
