Despues de reflexionar, tengo que reconocer que la expresión "locos del 4x4" ha sido cuando menos poco afortunada. Lamento el ruido y siento las molestias
Intentando volver al tema. La pareja de autores del artículo al que se refiere el hilo son unos famosos arquitectos especializados en el diseño de hogares "sostenibles" (aunque sigo sin saber qué significa eso). Googleando por ahí, podéis ver artículos y críticas diversas a la pareja, incluídas acusaciones de actuacion interesadas.. Aparentemente son unos fieras en su campo, salvo que cuando se salen del tema que dominan (edificios ecológicos) tienden a desvariar un poco, como es el caso que nos ocupa

No os perdáis los comentarios al libro. Algunos muy bien fundados y documentados:
But unfortunately that is not the only problem with this book. Many of the conclusions drawn from these endless calculations are entirely unsurprising - it is more sustainable to walk, cycle,or take public transport than to drive without passengers (surprise!), or that it is bad to endlessly replace things just because they have gone out of style or a better version is now available (surprise! again). I also found the tone was often preachy (particularly in a section at the end where the authors go off on a rant about how everyone who can afford to have some particular piece of kit installed - I think it might be solar panels but cannot find the book just now to check - and doesn't is totally irresponsible) but also revealed many of the authors' own biases. We are told to give up holidays, pets, many leisure activities, shopping, etc - ao many things that add pleasure do life - whilst meanwhile the authors talk about having a cat, travelling abroad for conferences (did they walk to Japan?), buying a new home, and their collections. I think it is meant to come across as warm and friendly but in combination with the rest of the book too often just seems hypocritical.
Lo siento, pero se pongan como se pongan no pienso renunciar a mi Damita. Se puede ser ecologista incluso teniendo mascotas.
