Now my views on the whole hysterical rubbish about climate change and our carbon footprints are well know on this forum. While I quite happily welcome some debate from a greenwashed fanatic [as we've not had one in a while and Ian seems to have gone AWOL] this time I'd like to talk about somebody else's carbon footprint... DHL's. I just had something delivered to me from Ipswich - 79 miles from where I live in Barnet to be exact. But take a look at the route it took ! According to the guy that brought it here... that's quite normal.
Glad to see that somebody's got a bigger carbon footprint than my own. Not only that but DHL are leading this year's 'Climate Counts' scoreboard - see the link further down. Fantastic stuff, I love it !
