You are 30ish NHS worker who lives on a narrow boat on the
Regents canal and no longer take foreign holidays or drive a car. You walk and cycle in London and catch the train when you go away on holiday once a year. You are angry at the lack of government action on climate change and feel the government should implement laws that apply to everyone to cut energy use and carbon consumption. Why can’t everyone behave like you?

You are a young professional couple who want to travel the world before you settle down, buy a house and have children (you want to have a least 5 children). You realise this is not ethical because of climate change but feel it is your right to do this and will reduce your travel once you are back in a year’s time – is this realistic?

While it's difficult to generalise, narrow boat living has the potential to be far less environmentally impactful than a traditional bricks-and-mortar house. For a start, boats don't take up any land. They are a much smaller space and so use less energy to heat up and keep warm.

Everything that goes on or off a boat has to be moved by you, so you tend to be more conscious of the resources you're using and how much waste you produce.

Spending more time outdoors and means you have a closer relationship with and greater awareness of your immediate environment. However, it does depend a lot on how you live, and how you fit the boat out and use fuel and other resources. There are also a range of environmental impacts to consider that you might not have to think about with a house.

Environmental considerations

There are a number of things you need to be aware of in order to avoid polluting the waterways, as well as measures you can take to reduce the environmental impact of your boat:
Waste

Grey Water discharge: this is water from the sinks, bathrooms etc. that goes straight into the waterways. Therefore, it's essential to use eco-friendly cleaning and personal products to avoid discharging any toxic or harmful liquids into the water.

Sewage: as previously mentioned, toilets need to be emptied regularly and toilet waste must never be discharged overboard. There are different types of toilet you can install which have greater or lesser environmental impacts. Compost toilets are great as they use no chemicals and, once broken down, the waste can be composted (assuming you have a heap handy to put it on; never dump it on someone else's land). Other popular models of toilet feature a holding tank, which needs to be pumped out at intervals at designated spots, filled or flushed with blue or green liquid to neutralise the nastiness. Again, use the eco-friendly liquids available on the market.

On-board waste: have a separate recycling and general waste bin, recycle as much as possible at the points provided along the waterways, and buy stuff with less or no packaging. Never discharge any waste or rubbish overboard, dump it on the towpath or otherwise allow it to enter the environment. This includes highly toxic cigarette butts, and biodegradable or food waste, particularly cooking oil. Compost as much as you can, if it's an option.

When carrying out maintenance, use only eco-friendly products and fresh water, and take care that no debris (like paint flecks etc.) ever enters the water.

Resource efficiency

Insulation is very important for fuel efficiency on board. Wool is a good natural material to use if possible. Double glazing is also very important; bear in mind that small portholes will keep in more heat than large windows.

Reduce your water use. Get used to saving it as you have to survive only on what's in your tank at any one time. If you choose to have a washing machine on board, remember these are heavy on water and power so don't get anything bigger than you need and always go for the most energy-efficient model you can afford.

Always choose FSC certified wood products, or recycled products.

Forage for, reuse and repurpose as much as you can. Get stuff second hand and sell or give away your own second-hand equipment rather than throwing it away.

Being out in the open affords some good opportunities to forage for wild food. You can even grow some of your own on the roof of your narrow boat.

Fuel and power

Equip and maintain your boat correctly to avoid fuel leaks. Take care to avoid spills when refuelling. If you do spill, never use detergents to clean it up.

Be aware of how much fuel you're using, and how you use your generator. Try to cookor cool food and drink in more energy-efficient ways. Install low energy lighting and a more efficient engine to reduce your energy use.

Think about the carbon footprint of the type of fuel you use for propulsion, heating and power. Consider alternatives like biodiesel or biogas if possible, but ensure these are sustainably sourced and produced.

Wildlife

Be respectful of wildlife. Avoid going too fast as this creates wash that can disturb animals, not to mention eroding the bank. Never cruise too close to, corner or pursue animals or birds. Always keep dogs under control.

Limit the spread of invasive non-native species along waterways by checking and cleaning your hull and any equipment that may have come into contact with the water such as ropes, fenders and the barge pole before moving onto a new stretch of waterway.

Likes Margaret Thatcher,

His father was a coal worker so he hates regulation, is an individual who doesn't like to conform and have rules thrust upon them. Grew up working class, therefore is a product of his own environment and believes in hard work and hard labour (thus he hates the pretentious snobs in charge of him).

Years spent in the aviation industry, he's experienced first hand the demand for air travel (pre-Covid) so doesn't deem CO2 emissions from air travel damaging to the environment.

Advocate for the NHS, national pride. Therefore he believes that government funding should be invested in maintaining the NHS.

Doesn't think the government are helping people enough. Therefore believes that resources and energy aiding in climate change awareness should be re-directed to matters which are closer to home. Infrastructure, the NHS, benefit schemes (disability benefit).

CONCLUSION: believes that the green levy charges should be dropped and put towards more 'pressing matters'.

If you've been on the internet within the last few months, I'm sure you've heard of the new crazed phenomena known as CBD oil. This new discovery has taken the health and fitness world by storm with the discovery of CBD oils benefits.

I'm excited to bring this to your attention, so let's get right into it....

Here are 10 mind-blowing CBD Oil Health Benefits

1. It Can Relieve Pain

Recently, scientists have discovered that CBD oil can actually relieve a person of pain.

The human body contains neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors.

These cannabinoid receptor proteins are located throughout the nervous and peripheral nervous system.

This endocannabinoid system (ECS) is involved in regulating various functions including pain, immune system response, appetite, and even sleep.

When you consume CBD oil, it interacts with the endocannabinoid receptors in your nervous system.

Studies show that CBD oil interaction can help reduce chronic pain as well as reduce inflammation when in interaction with the neurotransmitters.

2. CBD Oil Can Lower Anxiety

Although more research has been done with marijuana as opposed to CBD oil specifically, the few studies that have been done have shown promising results that CBD oil can help treat anxiety disorder.

According to the World Health Organization, anxiety is ranked 6 th as one of the world's leading contributors to disability worldwide.

Brain scans of participants revealed changes in blood flow to the regions of the brain linked to feelings of anxiety.

CBD has the ability to act on the brain receptors for serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and social behavior.

A study that was conducted showed that CBD also changed the way the patient's brains responded to anxiety.

3. May Help Reduce Acne

Acne affects a large part of the population.

Acne is caused by various factors such as bacteria, inflammation, genetics, and the overproduction of sebum.

Sebum is an oily secretion made by sebaceous glands in the skin.

Studies show CBD oil may help treat acne due to its anti-inflammatory reaction that was triggered in cells, preventing inflammatory cytokines from activating.

Cytokines may trigger acne, therefore CBD has shown promise to help treat acne.

4. Helps Treat Cancer-Related Symptoms

Cancer needs no introduction as it is one of the most feared diseases worldwide. It has an array of aggressive side effects.

CBD oil has been shown to aid in reducing the cancer side effects like nausea, vomiting, and pain.

Another study showed CBD and THC in combination helped reduce chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting showing positive signs for future treatment of these symptoms.

5. It Can Reduce Depression

Like I previously stated before in relation to anxiety, CBD has been proven to have an impact on serotonin receptors in the brain.

Serotonin impacts a range of functions in the body, including a person's emotional state and feelings of well-being or happiness.

Keeping serotonin levels balanced is often a key therapy for people with depression.

More research has to be done with human subjects before confirmation is complete, but it has shown to have promising potential.

6. Neurological Protection

Researchers have optimism that CBD's ability to act on the endocannabinoid system as well as other brain signaling systems will provide benefits for people who suffer from neurological disorders.

Sativex, an oral spray that consists of CBD and THC has proven to help people who suffer from muscle spasticity as a result of multiple sclerosis.

Similarly, It's also shown to significantly reduce seizure activity in children with Dravet syndrome.

7. Improves Cardiovascular Health

CBD has a reputation for being a blood pressure reducer.

A study found the link between CBD and blood pressure where doses of CBD helped lower the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of 10 male subjects when compared to a placebo.

CBD has also been proven to help lower anxiety, which can directly improve the cardiovascular system.

CBD might also directly benefit the heart due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

8. May Help Treat Opioid Addiction

CBD has been shown to alter circuits in the brain related to drug addiction, leading to a reduction in drug-induced craving and anxiety.

9. Possible Diabetes Prevention

CBD has the potential to treat diabetes-related health problems including reducing inflammation and improving blood glucose control.

In 2015, a study revealed that CBD had anti-inflammatory effects in rats. Excess inflammation is known to impact the development of insulin resistance and therefore type 2 diabetes.

This could help provide great benefits for humans in diabetes prevention.

10. CBD Aids in Helping You Sleep

CBD oil benefits also include positive influences on sleep due to its ability to act on the endocannabinoid system, The endocannabinoid system regulates sleep stability.

Studies showed than when treated with CBD, mice's NREM sleep (also known as quiescent sleep) time increased.

All in all, it has been proven that CBD oil benefits are ever-increasing with a surplus of potential. If you're interested in giving it a try, click this link and enjoy your very own.
