We offset it by never qualifying for fucking Europe though.

We offset it by never qualifying for fucking Europe though.

Also don't us and Leicester generally have to travel the least miles to away games (typically less than half that of Newcastle). Multiply that by up to 3,000 away fans and we are indeed top of the Eco-league.

[Proposition Joe]

Also, if we travelled on scheduled flights rather than charters, those planes were going to fly those miles regardless of whether Villa were on the planes or not.

That's always been my excuse for flying loads. We don't want any Taylor Swifts at VP even if we could do with her height on set pieces.

Or Iron Maiden and Ed Force One. I did love the picture though from some airport in Switzerland where you had Macron's petit plane, Merkel's little thing and Maiden's 747 all parked next to each other.

I couldn't think of a bigger non-story than this.

[Footy-Vill]

This is nothing to be proud of, and having spoken to people at the club previously when our ratings were low, I didn't get the impression that this was at the top of the list, which it wouldn't be as a football club with a generic email with stock answers and pointing to Premier league.
I believe we should reconsider the title the thread rather than basking in the glory of our contribution to the destruction of our one and only planet. That's all I can say on such a poor show of commercial over environment activities by the club.

This planet is screwed so long as our horrible little species lives on it I’m afraid.

We shall offset our pre-season CO2 emissions by only having one round trip coach journey in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.

[Risso]

It's an interesting discussion, because the biggest thing humans can do to stop global warming isn't to stop eating meat, it's just to "do less". So don't go on holiday abroad, don't drive to the coast for a day out, have online meetings instead of driving somewhere, etc etc, just stop doing stuff that isn't essential.  But this clearly isn't compatible with sport, eg the World Cup, Olympics, Commonwealth Games, European Championships, Champions League and so on.

Not sure that’s true Risso, wasn’t there a report from the Boston Consulting Group recently which basically said the biggest opportunity for business to reduce GHG emissions was to massively increase our use of meat replacement products.

They were talking about the best value investment for cutting greenhouse gas emissions being the switch to non-animal protein. However, it doesn't cost anything to just do less.

That's a great line, and one I feel I can fully support. The next time I get a funny look for lying on the sofa reading my book, I'll explain that I'm doing my part to save the world for our children, and would you rather I painted the hallway or our granchildren burn in a toxic dystopia?
