Posted in: Are EVs (electric vehicles) good for the environment? See in context
To make the batteries in a Toyota Prius for example; the nickel is mined in Canada, which causes huge amounts of pollution, sulphur, acid rain etc. It's then loaded onto huge cargo ships on which it's shipped to Europe where it's refined. Then to China where it's turned into a sort of foam, then to Japan where it's put into the batteries and into the cars.
Anyone who says EV's are environmentally friendly have literally no idea what they're talking about. I'm not suggesting petrol or diesel cars are better, but EV's are definitely not friendly to the environment. It would be more friendly to buy a second or third hand petrol or diesel car and drive it until it can't be driven any more.
If scientists can work out how to make it quicker and easier, Hydrogen is absolutely the future.

It's not like the scooters are a viable transportation method. They're just for entertainment and for the these companies to make easy money. I'm fed up with these companies and products acting as if they're green and eco-friendly. If it has a battery it's not eco-friendly

Posted in: Do you think mega-sports events such as the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup are good for the host country's economy and infrastructure in the long run? See in context
I've always thought that the Olympics should only be in Greece, if they want it, or somewhere else in Europe every four years. The current model which is used for these global events is totally unsustainable. Football world cup should only be in Western Europe. Rugby World Cup in UK & Ireland. Winter Olympics only in Canada. It will also reduce corruption when bidding for the hosting rights within the governing bodies.

The hypocrisy from China and South Korea is hilarious. Manipulative media in both countries should take a good hard look at their own governments for what they do to the oceans. Pot calling the kettle black comes to mind. The media has even scared the public to the point that people are trying to break into embassies. Utter madness. Keep the fish and sell it domestically.
