Is this an accurate description of Scotland?  Are we really one of the most ecologically degraded countries in the world?  Does rewilding offer hope?

I recently enjoyed the experience of high-speed trains in Spain.  Are they truly green?  Why hasn’t the UK got a network of high-speed rail?  As an environmentalist, should I support HS2?

From April 2025 there were big changes to UK car tax.  Will this help to promote electric cars?  Are they fair?  

Can tourism be green?  What is your carbon footprint when travelling?  Should I fly?

How do we improve our dietary health, and decrease our environmental footprint?  This blog proposes improved food labelling and a radical scheme to force supermarkets to market and sell healthier food products.

To date I have neglected the exciting role of renewable electricity generation in Scotland.  There is a lot of good news to share.

A list of my blogs over the last 4 years, catalogued to help you focus on your interests.  

In this blog I try to sort fact from fiction in the electric vehicle debate.   Is there enough lithium to build batteries?  Is it too expensive?  Are EVs compatible with a green future?
