Electric cars

[Bill Walker]

There's quite a bit of opposition to EV's here in Oz "you can't get a bucket of electricity in the outback" etc etc.

But when you read things like this:
As well as absorbing knowledge, many school pupils can expect to be inhaling polluted air, with a 2021 study suggesting that 98 per cent of state primary and secondary schools in London, and 24 per cent outside the city, are in areas that regularly exceed safe levels.

Study done by Lancaster Uni. (it isn't just London that's polluted).
The number of cars and trucks on the road seems to increase every year...

Surely we owe it to our kids to do what we can to prevent early lung damage through air pollution ?

Just come back on the train from Blackpool. It seems kids are quite happy to damage their lungs all by themselves with them fucking stinky vape sticks.

Yeah but I'm sure that's a minority of kids, don't we as adults have a duty of care ?

And all we got from a trip to Blackpool as kids, was 10 sticks of rock and enough candy floss to keep the fire going for weeks.
Our lungs were fine, but our teeth fell out before we got home.
Happy days

Course we do but I think it is far from the minority.

Ahh well, maybe it's not. I can't say as I don't live there.
I wouldn't want my kids breathing in diesel fumes and particulate matter whilst at school all day though.

Kids have always smoked, broke the rules, tried it on, etc. I did it, and so did you.
Now, they have a vape and cheek their elders.
Good for them, it's called being a kid. ;-)

Never smoked a fag in my life.
My mum died aged 40 of lung cancer when I was 14.
