Today I got a message noting the guardians coverage of a nice story
World’s coral reefs could disintegrate by 2100
Researchers at Carnegie Institution say corals are being overwhelmed by rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
This is the original post for The Guardian by Ian Sample, science correspondent, in San Diego…. It even has some lovely photos 😉

I read the piece. And a fine written article it is if I may say so. I was impressed. That was until I saw their ads for their online shopping parked right beside it…..

Yes that’s right…. you can read about the CO2 destruction of the coral reefs whilst drinking your coffee from a mug that has been posted and delivered to you from the UK…. ? Aparently….
It reveals the worlds most severe carbon footprint offenders
Erm…………? What’s the word I’m looking for……?
I live in Ballyboughal. So it’s plane to Dublin Airport. Then to the sorting office…somewhere…. then to Balbriggan and then to my house…… ?
I’ve spoke about green ethics here before… but this one simply stinks of anything that’ll make a few bob being very honest…. that is unless the guardian are going to have an organic corn fed carrier pidgeon deliver this mug right to my door….. ?
Wouldn’t it be nice if the Guardian Eco section simply had a sign there saying buy local as possible…. ?
