Does anyone remember Icelands wanting to go plastic free from their brand by 2023?
Well here's something that you probably don't know. Now I'm a butcher in a frozen meat factory and we do a few jobs for Iceland in their plastic packaging at the moment. They still want us to supply for them but we have to put it in our own brand for them to sell. They basically have us by the balls because we will lose out in hundreds of thousands of pounds if we don't do it. Big companies using small companies to take the fall and make themselves look good. Here's the link https://about.iceland.co.uk/plastic-free-by-2023/

Having said that (and I am no big car manufacturer fan) - Toyota invests a lot of money into research in hydrogen cars.
Hydrogen cars have many advantages over electric cars that require charging, such as refueling time. I think it has a lot of potential.
Methane reformation is one of the biggest sources of hydrogen which is arguably not very sustainable, however there are more options for production than many biofuels which cause other issues e.g. ethanol cars in Brazil.
The biggest advantage is that refill times are much quicker than fuel cells. But any car that doesn't have an engine is going to massively reduce cost and efficiency.
Hydrogen is much safer than petrol. If you have an accident the hydrogen will just shoot up into the atmosphere! You probably are thinking Hindenberg style but I can assure you that the hydrogen cars my friends test are much less likely to catch fire than a petrol one.
It's so frustrating when wind and tidal are so much more cost effective in the UK. But hey, it's the UK Government that removed tax breaks on renewables and subsidised fossil fuels even though it is not in the nations interest. But it does suit all their Lords that used to work for BP

“And cull everyone over say, 75?”
That should be done before every General Election to counter the biased reporting in their newspaper of choice.
Culling no , of course . Birth control in countries that are not allowed it ( if the couples want it ) definitely IMHO .
This kind of says it all really:
