People say we need to go green - energy efficiency, lower our greenhouse gas emmisions, etc -
But how can we truly 'go green' whilst destroying wildlife and green spaces??? |
Removal of brownfield often menas total removal of a varieyt of species from the locality as there is no other land....
Green sites - at least those that are actually bright green, neat and tidy and intensively farmed are sometimes - (even often in my experiance) a bit rubbish for wildlife......
If I had may way, we'd keep a lot of the brownfield sites, broken buildings, rusting machinery and all.......
