"It's the end of the world as we know it - HOORAY - let's make a better one. Nothing's more delicious than the vegetable you've grown yourself, few things feel better than a cosy, well-insulated home, riding a bike is fun and it makes your bum smaller. Renewable energy is cheaper, cleaner and safer for us all - switching things off saves you a fortune and we are lucky enough to live in a beautiful, spectacular country with a handy rail link to the whole of Europe. Someone tell me, please, what's not to like?"
