Especially my neighbours who receive Deliveroo meal deliveries for virtually every meal when they are able bodied & 5 minutes walk away from supermarkets and takeaways.

Dont worry its not caused any upset mate.I didn't know your circumstances.
Sorry for any upset I may have caused.
Take care.
Its just that life can be much more complicated for a whole variety of reasons which means that doing the right thing can often be much more challenging. I've spent an arm and a leg getting solar with battery storage, i've gone for an electric car which is by no means perfect but better than ICE vehicles, at least at the point of emission which is the bit I can influence.
Thankfully I can afford to make that change, but many can't. Subsidising and incentivising green solutions for those on lower incomes would be by far the best option, which would force business to maybe reassess their priorities, rather than paying lip service to green issues.
Additionally increasing tax on flights under 400 miles which could be done via train would also help, if you used it to offset rail cost. Its insane that you can fly from London to Glasgow for a quarter of the price of the same rail journey.

No, no and no.
How would I go fishing, for example, with a load of gear? How would Lady Baconface and I get between two locations 50 miles apart with luggage and dogs? How would I go camping, again with all the kit?
However, I do zero air miles and am very conscious of environmental issues.

Yes I could but I wont enjoy my life. I live in a village with limited buses. No Train station.
Work is about 6 miles away and both the missus and me share the car trip as we work close to each other.
If I dont use a car I cant go to matches.

I'm 54 years old now.
Been working since I was 18.
Not one of those jobs could I have met the contracted hours without a car.
Pay me £2,000 a month after deductions, index linked to rise annually by the RPI rate of inflation (Not being fobbed off by CPI) for sitting at home reading and watching YouTube blogs and I will gladly give up the car.

I'm surprised at the amount of people who have never driven
