My email to Greenpeace

Top man James
Bombard them with it as often as you can!
Their argument against Landrover owners is ridiculous.
Can't wait to hear their reply

I totally agree, As Land Rover advertize 70% of all those ever built are still in use, there can't be anything else that matches that?
How often do you see a Land Rover in a scrap yard? Most Scrap Yards produce far more pollution scrapping a car than the car produces in it's life, that's not even counting the waste from producing a replacement.

I work as an Environmental Officer, my job is looking after the Environment but I still think Greenpeace talk garbage a lot of the time. They just know how to grab headlines.

It would be interesting to get hold of a Greenpeace audit and see how many Land Rovers they buy in a year.

I too drive two cars
Both Disco's.
A diesel which covers less than 6k every year and a V8 running on LPG. Which covers less than 3k a year.

The above 2 are nothing compared to the miles you drive in your lorry. How much pollution do you pump out each and every day while trying to earn a living?(I'm not having a dig at you personally). This is more important than what vehicle you drive at home.
I operate a machine that goes through 45-50 galls a day, as do most machines in the construction industry. I consider the 3 galls a day that I burn travelling to/from work to be nothing compared to what I use when I get there.
While we live in a society where money and profit comes before the  environment then we will achieve very little in the way of rectifying the situation.
