WHEN David Attenborough talks to us about the perilous state of the planet, I wonder just how much of it is being absorbed.
The 30,000 new homes planned for Dorset are being concentrated on rural areas, which we are being asked to protect.
How much flora and fauna will disappear and at what cost to the environment?
Nationally the HS2 rail project, at an astronomical cost, aims to save commuters time, ironically when more are choosing to work from home.
While the public, with their block-paved gardens, are being encouraged to plant a tree, local authorities, driven by government diktat, are tearing them up.
And who are all these homes being built for anyway?
