last night after a knackering day me and mr B snuggled up to watch one of my favorate films, The Day After Tomorrow.
After shitting myself halfway through because a spider (the size of a small plate.)(including the legs) ran straight past me and my dogs and dissapeared!...................its still AWOL!(im scared) anyway after watching the film it kinda got me abit parranoid!!
ive seen alot of stuf about going "green" and i dont mean like this

so are any of you "green"? and if so does recycling and buying organic food etc....... have a big impact on your life?? is it all worth "saving the planet" from climate changes that we are seeing alot more of?
louxxx
I do my bit to help SH comply with international agreements on global warming, by recycling old jokes.

lol true!!! :lol:
In my area the council have given us all brand spanking new wheelie bins, trouble is, we've got one for normal waste, one for cans, one for food waste, so I suppose we're being forced to go green. Its not too bad, it just means we have to spend more time sorting our rubbish in to different bins rather than just the one.
Ok, just to prove my recycling credentials –
Bin man knocks on a china mans door
Bin man “Wheres your bin?”
China man “ I been in kitchen having a cup of tea”
Bin Man “No,no – wheres your BIN”
China man “ I just tol you, in kitchen having cup of tea”
Bin man “Look, wheres your fucking wheelie bin”
China man “ Ok I wheely been having wank in bedroom!”

Our council have provided us 2 wheelie bins one for waste and one for the garden stuff. then there are 2 boxes, the first is for cardboard and glass and the second for newpapers, then they have given us pink plastic bags for plastic and cans
i think its a great idea doing this, now i dont have to go up to the council tip every week to do my bit only thing i have to go there for is to take old clothes and shoes
To be quite honnest not as green as we would like to be redface
We could do more but it comes down to time and effort
like it said on my school report must try harder lol
Goodtimez
i started recycling and then i was fed up with bottles and cardboard piled up....................in the end it pissed me off and i just chcked it in the wheelie bin!!!

Hey, are you trying to say I'm posh?!? Please God, no!!!!! I don't want to be posh!!!!!!
Nope...I will confess to being terrible when it comes to recycling stuff and tend to go for the bailiffs 'big hoof' straight into the wheelie bin. I guess we will all be pushed further down that road as the local authority remove our options and get us to sort rubbish out through the issue of different bins etc, but until that time I guess I will keep taking the easy option.
Call me stupid ... but what has recycling got to do with spiders confused
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...
Postie, Well done you!
worship
! :thumbup:
Mr goodtimez
is it me or has anyone els thought bout the amount of greenhouse gasses produced in
the manufacture of all those recycling bins bottle banks and black baggs we use to put are recyclable rubbish in dunno
we have three bins in the garden and not one of them shows any indication of biodegrading yet
the nice council man gave me
1x wheelie bin for disposal of house type waste
1x wheelie bin for disposal of garden type waste
1x large green plasic box for storage of spare video cables
(and a spare acquired from the vacant house next door)
thanks mr council man :thumbup:

So thats why youre on here halfway through the night, pacing up and down, ringing bells!
Our Council won't even give us a wheelie bin never mind recycling bins - still using the black plastic bags. However, they do help feed the wildlife - badgers find them so much easier to get into than wheelie bins

Yeah, but over on your side of the puddle they talk fecking weird.... and seeing as your lot kicked us out... can we have our language back too, so we don't have to hear it getting mangled on a daily basis? lol

Come back to this post in a year Laura ..... the city council are working their way round the areas and you're likely to end up with three bins!!!! rolleyes
We tend to be fairly eco-friendly, recycling bottles, paper etc, less packaging, had washable nappies for the kids and eco friendly sanitary protection, got a composter, milk from the milkman, veg box from local providers. I could go on but I guess I've revealed myself for the hippy I am LOL.
Until last year I worked closely with the councils on eco- friendly projects.
Get yourself off to the Eco-Fest on Markeaton Park on 10th & 11th September.

WTFs a wheely bin must be something to do with how far you live from marketon this part of the county has only just graduated from the hole up the field that judging by the old iron served since the first world get black bag you know the sort good for keeping a suit clean when you dont want to travel in your good get replacements when you hide and catch the little bugger as he sneaks into the yard loads up then exits at 90 mph
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!"
mad :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x
Rant over - but I will stand by what I said
i try to be as green as possible
stopped buying processed food ...wont touch battery chickens or eggs......travel miles to buy organic ........recycle
takes a bit more of my time up but i think its worth it
I gotta agree with Jim..
I love my big cars.. In my time I've had a 7 1/2 ltr V8 yank monster, several jags inc. a nice V12.. and now I'm forced to drive around in a poxy 1.4 economy mobile..
We pay through the nose for our petrol, and keep getting told its the price of oil etc. Last time I was in the U.S. (this is about 6 years ago), they were going absolutely nuts cos in some places it was nearly a dollar a gallon (70p a gallon).. I mean WTF, and at that time back home it was around + a gallon
The UK SHOULD get a more 'fuck everybody else, lets enjoy it while we can' attitude that the U.S. follows.
I still believe in recycling.. but lets use that fossil fuel like its going out of fashion !!! :twisted:
