Yup, it’s Hallowe’en, so here’s the top ten sustainability related things that make me scream:

1. Pictures of hands cupping saplings to illustrate ‘responsibility’ – I really, really hate them!
2. The word ‘recycling’ being used in the media to describe a celebrity wearing the same dress twice.
3. “For sustainability, we need a whole new economic model.” – effectively just an excuse to do nothing.
4. Sustainability commentators being regarded as more influential and/or more virtuous than sustainability doers.
5. Corporations using twitter to lecture us on what we should be doing to be green rather than explaining what they are doing.
6. ‘Don’t print this e-mail’ lines in e-mail signature block – passive aggressive virtue signalling of the worst kind.
7. Those for whom no practical sustainability solution is ever good enough.
8. People who say cyclists should pay (non-existent) road tax. Get. a. life.
9. “Green” products which are shoddy, ugly and expensive.
10. Those who conflate environmentalism with hippy nonsense such as (and particularly) homeopathy.

Any more for any more?
