What is the one indulgence you couldn’t give up?

One of my favourite sustainability questions to ask people, if you had to dramatically cut your ecofootprint what is the one indulgence you couldn’t give up? The answers vary from shoes, to travel, to steaks or even motor racing. For me, it would have to be gadgets – it could be lifestyle gadgets, cycling gadgets or just gadgets, love them.

This one caught my eye recently. No way I could afford or let alone justify spending this much on a bike, but it looks awesome. Made from braided carbon fibre by PG-bikes in Germany the blackbraid weighs in at under 5kg!

So, the question is what is the one indulgence you couldn’t give up?

   Info from the US, but still relevant. Gadgetry is the enemy!
