I see a line of cars and they're all painted black. A line of diplomatic cars parked in Huertas and I couldn't help but check how many of these large German sedans were hybrids or electric. Not that it matters if diplomats care about the environment or not but it should matter if embassies are to invest €100,000 to €150,000 in a car, that they invest in the kind of car that is allowed to enter a Reduces Emissions Zone such as #madridcentral or #madrid360 or whatever nonsense it is called today. We talk about electric cars and the future and forcing people to stop burning fossil fuels by the fireplace even though they might have few affordable options to keep them warm during the winter yet how many embassies have invested in cars eligible to drive in the centre of Madrid? One of the cars I saw was a #mercedess420h which I think might have been from the United Arab Emirates and while no one forces those with the means to go green, to go green, I must applaud this embassy for investing in a hybrid limousine. In the words of Joyce, "I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today." #diplomacy #cop26 #climatechange #hybridcars #internationalrelations #joycequote #groundhogdaychallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CW_Rp4oo4vX/?utm_medium=tumblr
