oh! stop me when i start ranting....
Or when Dino turns up....
Re-cycling. It's too bloody easy! There is nothing in my house that doesn't get re-cycled... excepting about 5% of stuff thats impossible to re-use/ re-cycle. My wheelie bin (and i only have one) is put out about once every three weeks with it less than a third full.
All plastics go to the local plastics company for re-use. And if you ever bother to collect your one-use plastics, you'll see how much of the wheelie bin that takes up! Plastic shopping bags, try not to use them, but when i have to re-use them and then the surplus is taken to the corner shop for them to re-use.
I have a compost bin for everything that is organic. mostly veg peelings but also cardboard and stuff (the worms love it!)
I have two bins attached to drainpipes for collecting rainwater.
All tins, glass, newspaper, leaflets, junk mail (delivered to me!) clothes and old shoes go to the re-cycling drop off when i go shopping.
I try and buy organic as it tastes better, but it's true it is sometimes too expensive. I am mainly veggie, and all my lightbulbs are longlife, powersaving types...
corks from wine bottles go to the old girl next door for her chinchilla to chew....
the diesel in my car is bio-diesel made from rapeseed oil...
Blimey... if i was any greener, i'd be Kermit the fecking Frog....
Bizarrely, I don't vote Green... (except as a protest vote)
Lastly... and to keep a long rant very short... i don't have kids... but for those of you who do... try and leave this planet in a better state, you kids don't deserve to inherit a planet fucked up by your wanton waste of finite resources...

ya tree huggin' hippy.....
Don't do any of the conservation stuff, but only because i'm a lazy git.. and the pub sounds better...
Anyhows... if i won the lottery, it's my ambition to plant 7 forests... of about 2 acres each...
all quite close together... a bit of grassland betwixt each one... various species of trees, a nice little habitat for wild life... badgers could go a'badgering, foxes could play with the wabbits... birds would tweet from the trees and people could frolick...
and from the air it would read...............
FUCK OFF
and then i'd buy the next OS map!

I fugging hate - no "despise" is a better word - the Green movement. I am an unashamed petrol head, and as such I am mightily fugged off by emissions restrictions that at a stroke killed classic ( pre '71 ) V8s and quality 2T ( two strokes for the rest of you ). People in their 40's might remember Fizzies, Elsie's, PowerValves even Yamma-Gammas - Where are the successors to these leviathans? Why has everything become so bland and anodyne, lacking progression, always chasing the most econimical smoothest aerodynamic blah blah blah.
Why can't someone just take up a Fuck You attitude. TF for Cisco and his fellow countrymen - all the time it is not good, but why have we all turned into a big bunch of hand-wringing, bleedin'-heart liberal pussies that bow and scrape at the command of anyone that says "Do this!"

Rant over - but I will stand by what I said
