Premier League: Should clubs stop flying to domestic matches for environmental reasons? By John Stanton, David Lockwood & Katie GornallBBC Sport Last updated on12 November 202112 November 2021.From the section Premier League Manchester United flew to Leicester in October, a journey of roughly 100 miles with an estimated flying time of around 10 minutes. Leeds United took a plane to Norwich City, a journey with an estimated flying time of 17 minutes. BBC Sport has been told the majority of clubs do travel by air to games at Carrow Road. Arsenal often use this method for journeys to East Anglia, despite being heavily criticised in 2015 for making that journey by plane. A month earlier, Tottenham had faced criticism from Greenpeace after taking a 20-minute flight to Bournemouth. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59213173
Would be good if there was a high profile SM account that called out the utter hypocrisy and stupidity of all these organisations with these virtue signalling / politically correct claims that they actually take little to no notice of in practice (meaning not just football clubs but all sorts of manufacturers, retailers, etc).
100 companies are responsible for over 70% of global emissions but most of the ‘green’ marketing/propaganda is about individuals reducing their individual carbon footprint. It’s a way for the biggest culprits to deflect blame onto the average person.
That is a bit ingenuous. A lot of those companies are oil producers.Are you suggesting they cease operating? No one uses their products as it is that use which causes emissions?
100 companies mined the coal and drilled the oil, that went on to create 71% of the emissions when they were burned in power stations , powered industry, fuelled plains, trains and automobiles etc, the 100 companies didn't actually generate the greenhouse gasses themselves.
Millions of different companies, not the 100 companies who mine/drill the stuff that you referred to. The two biggest contributors to emissions are electricity/heating (31%) and Transportation (15%), both of which we can collectively affect through our decisions and actions.
I think that's Alabama. please log in to view this image https://the18.com/en/soccer-enterta...ewed-soccer-teams-state-wild-and-defies-logic
