And so it rumbles on: How green should we be?
"I always have trouble with these blogs because there are the questions asked in the headline. Then those asked in the body. And then those answered and asked in post replies that can be arriving in a moderated scenario out of sequence, if at all (system permitting)
So on the day of the ICCP report, in answer to the headline at the top, I’d say ‘as green as you can be, realistically!’.
That last word immediately sets up a whole can of worms. What is realistically? You are a public broadcaster. How do you best serve the public. With information and facts? But whose? Offer both sides and if you err on a view then you can be accused of bias.
And then there is the sheer volume of fact AND opinion, multiplied by blogs. I have almost given up trying to cope with all just on the Newsnight one alone about this issue, much less the BBC and then on to the major media. My blog (accessed via my site above) has tried to list all the competing majors, with more to be added.
And it can all get sidelined by trivia.. if with
some validity. Jeremy makes a pretty gutsy stand, with fair points, and then we have by way of response that he may have not switched his monitor off, so who’s he to talk? Helpful?
I’d agree with the poster who is a tad surprised that you don’t feel its your job to save the planet you are standing on.
Just make sure that if you do it, you do it for the right reasons and in the right ways..
That’s an even bigger can of worms I’m debating with some sincere, smart cookies on my site now.
I hope I’ve offered enough to fulfill your needs here for now."
