Letter: Smug alert

Published 9 May 2007

From Emily Wolfe

I was interested to see Geoff Russell pointing out the importance of changing what we eat if we want to save the planet (14 April, p 22). I visited various websites that offer advice on reducing individual contributions to global warming with – I must confess – the aim of achieving a delightful smug glow. I am vegan and have never owned a car nor been on a plane.

Not a bit of it! Most of the sites completely ignore diet and simply admonish me for not insulating my loft. I don’t even have a loft. Bah!
