Today I moved 7.2 tonnes of 20mm gravel, and re-located, sieved and washed another 1.6 tonnes of 10mm pea shingle. To put that in perspective, that's about:
- one-and-a-half times as heavy as an elephant
- two-and-a-half times as heavy as a hippopotamus
- four times as heavy as a rhinoceros
- four-and-a-half times as heavy as a giraffe
- seventeen times as heavy as a polar bear
- one-tenth as heavy as a blue whale
- or 0.000000000000000000002 times as heavy as the Earth
All these things are at risk. Big numbers. Big choices. No excuses.
