Tyres go well on then wood burner.
Shipping cars from one side of the planet to the other also contributes to their filth.
Why go all the way to the canal Rocky? There's that drain in the gutter right outside for the oil. Saves one trip at least. Oh shoot - that would be the green optionFark the environment. I can't be fagged discussing trivial items with you nobbers, I've got a gallon of old sump oil to dump in the canal plus a couple of old tyres and a fridge to chuck out. See you laters.
The 15 largest container ships create the same amount of CO2 per year as all the worlds cars combined. Maybe we should try and clean them up aswell as cars

Wow!The 15 largest container ships create the same amount of CO2 per year as all the worlds cars combined. Maybe we should try and clean them up aswell as cars
Crime exists! Abolish the law!We worry about cars..and a bit of pollution in the UK
US China and India generate enough pollution to guarantee our demise...so enjoy what time you have and get a V10
How much "new" aluminium is used in bike manufacture and how much is recycled? Does alloying it reduce the recycling possibilities?And aluminium. There are very few processes on the planet as damaging and energy intensive as the extraction, refining and eventual forming of aluminium stock. Its a massively destructive way for a manufacturer to save a few grams on CO2 emissions, or make a slightly lighter bicycle.
I've seen that said previously, but is it right? Doesn't sound that plausible to be honest
There are quite a few articles about this. The largest ship produces as much pollution as 50 million cars (there are only 750-800 million cars in the world) and creates 2000 times the amount of sulphur due to the poor fuel used.
There are currently 6,000 container ships sailing the seas.

Figure of 6,000 seems a bit low. There's 16,900 bulk carriers at present with a further 500 on order.There are quite a few articles about this.

Apparently not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aluminium_smelters I checked the Australian ones, gas, brown (the worst kind) coal for two, the Tomago one use 12% of the power in that entire state, which includes Sydney!, so that's going to come from a pool that includes brown coal, gas, hydro, solar and wind (at least).Is that really so? Aren't aluminium smelters usually sited where it is easy and convenient to build hydro electric plants giving cheap (and coincidentaly renewable) electricity for the actual smelting.
