Following on from the last post if as a nation we can’t afford – or maybe even more pragmatically don’t have enough time – to electrify our freight network, then we as individuals must curb our consumption of products that require freight transport.
This might be not replacing household goods as frequently – making TVs, kitchen appliances, mobile phones etc last longer.
This might be not adding buying as many extra pieces of clothing or pairs of shoes – we can wear what we have for longer, repair or adjust them as necessary, or swop with others.
This might be not buying as many consumables – whether that is books, electric fans, toys and knick knacks, etc – but rather buying what we need and what we know will have a long life.
This might be choosing to buy local made products, locally grown foods.
