I think there is a look after number one attitude from most out there, coupled with greed and lazyness. The planet is already nackered. All the goodwill acts in the world cant stop the inevitable, just slow it a bit.Inflation aside, I think the price rises in petrol are the way it will go anyway, as a way of slowing its use. But at the end of the day there will be none left. If the government can get a massive stockpile of cycling parts made and stashed, the future of transport is going to be just that, in all its forms and shapes. And when there isnt enough power to make things, ie blast furnaces and generators , the size of the stash equates to how long we can travel, albeit slow by todays standards. This is a long way away, but it will happen. Being green is admirable, but futile in reality. Just depends when it all goes wrong, in our grandkids time or theirs, maybe it will take longer, who knows? But then if we as a planet manage to survive for the next billion years, its all in vain anyway. Because unless we get the technology to travel to the stars , which is unlikely, and maybe find another earth like planet, we are all going to disappear when the sun goes supernovae anyway.
Yeah, the best thing to is look after number one and accelerate all this bad stuff as fast as you possibly can.
