Butterflies and bees are in decline in the UK
Sussex Wildlife Trust's Tony Whitbread’s words are timely: “We need a sophisticated approach to traffic”, Argus Soapbox, August 9 and 13) – building roads and bypasses are not the answer to our traffic woes. How many butterflies did you see in this warm summer?
By heeding research of transport specialists, such as Professors Goodwin and Whitelegg, and various environmentalists and visionaries, we could have sustainable solutions and put 'eco' back into the economy.
Fewer cars, less consumption and climate change, would mean more care, conservation and contribution to a fairer, healthier world.
