The McMillans were inspired to create the website after attempting to return home to Scotland with as little environmental impact as possible following 18 months abroad. They managed to get all the way from Singapore without taking to the sky; a journey across 14 countries that took 85 days, using 22 buses, 14 trains, 11 boats and numerous tuk tuks (rickshaws).

The absolute stupidity of this story defies belief. As does the proposal to tax more as a supposed ethical approach for the sake of green. And how great was their carbon footprint over those 85 days in all those buses, trains, boats, and rickshaws (people produce pollution, too)? This utopian view may be good for some elite or retired couple who have time on their hands and nothing better to do than enjoy the scenery.
