Countryfile tonight

[Raider112]

This.
Countryfile have just educated the great British public on the need to sequester carbon.
The consensus on here - and scientific study - is that PP is better than anything, trees included.
PP only exists because it is grazed by cows and sheep. Save the planet, eat red meat. It's a simple enough message. Who is going to get Countryfile to cover the story ? It's an open goal.

I think we all know that if anybody said that it would be edited out.

OMG now Ellie's trying to hang herself in a tree............somebody please stop her.....oh the humanity...

I'll hold the Rope......

I'm all for tree planting in urban areas. Little pockets of scrub would be brilliant, too, but would afford too much cover for nefarious activities.

am i at my age ( over pension age )realistically going to plant trees as a cover for nefarious activities ,there again I can still remember a couple of hours under a weeping willow by a babbling brook on the outskirts of a village having just replenished body and soul with a lunch washed down with a glass or two of the amber nectar with a proper head from the village pub and the unrelenting sun beating down upon my shoulders with a slight breeze to create the music of a rustle in the leaves as the shadows slowly lengthened in the company of she who as discretion dictates will remain nameless. ---------------------- ive just ordered a copse

Helping the environment in S Wales by planting trees with plastic tree guards.

I am sure they will all be collected up....

 

[steveR]

I can’t watch it. No point too annoying

Yep. I walk out if it is inflicted on theroom...

Plant this country up with trees, then cut trees down in Brazil to grow the food for us to import from the land which will have been ploughed and sprayed with all the good chemicals

And all of the fuel needed to get it here

Nobody asked Jake why if he is such a convert to soil health he allowed beetroot to be planted to destroy his soils?

 

[primmiemoo]

It'll be fine, because soya is considered a staple here (and most will be off out of sight to China in any case - so that's all good), and all the rainforest beef will have been aged on the ship coming across the Atlantic. Not as though meat packers here can hang beef properly, or stupormarkets educate their customers, or anything.

Beetroot is cool. So that's all good.

High rent I would expect.

 

[Top Tip.]

I did find myself shouting at the telly tonight, I now remember why I don’t watch this utter garbage.

 

[Wilksy]

Plant trees to off set those being rieved up by HS2

 

[Bury the Trash]

Yep. I walk out if it is inflicted on theroom...

I'm not sure which is worse, to have to sit through that or the ' retro mid wife ' program..

 

[An Gof]

High rent I would expect.

So both he and his his owner that he manages for are no different to the rest of us ...... follow the moolah

I don’t have a problem with that as long as you don’t perpetually set yourself up as a disciple of all that is good.

Good luck with that

I disagree. Why would it be edited out ?

Good luck with that

That's more the point. Who is going to go on Countryfile and say that PP is better than trees, with the added benefit of producing nutrient dense food for humans ?
The NFU ? The AHDB ? Both of them say that we need less cows and more trees.

Stop blaming the BBC. The guilty party is UK ag, for being so completely and utterly useless at representing itself.
