Air pollution?

[Buckman]

In the case of transport, it is beyond doubt and certainly not a myth, that EV's are significantly more energy efficient than any form of IC engine.

If so, why do they need fossil fuel to recharge? Why do they have to mine for the rare metals and destroy the environment. Are the batteries made in the UK so no need to ship them from the other side of the world? Total myth that EVs are environmentally friendly!

Doesn’t your Lexus hybrid have a propulsion battery, and how did the car get from Japan to Britain, and doesn’t the production of petrol and diesel affect the environment in areas around the world? Currently at this time over 50% of energy generation in Britain is renewable and clean. So I guess cars are benefiting from it.

They always say think outside the box😉

I have no wish to be insensitive to others wishes but in the spirit if this thread the following is a bit of an eye opener. Time for more Cemeteries perhaps 🤔

One cremation is estimated to produce 535 lbs of CO2. This is the equivalent of a 609 mile car journey in an average sized car. The combustion of fossil fuels also causes the emission of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide. Other noxious substances emitted include fine soot and mercury.

Crikey and I’ve got five sets of dog’s ashes to scatter before I pop off. But the garden soils weren’t deep enough for burials.

I’m down for a natural burial with minimum attendance and a Piper playing “The Black Bear” as the attendees make their way back to their cars and on to the pub.

Isn't a hybrid different to an EV?

You really haven't done your research, before buying this Lexus then.
I hope it's not a PHEV.

“Stairway To Heaven” going hot😉 Ashes with the three dogs in our secret place in the woods.
