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.
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.
:laughabove: :laughabove: :laughabove: :laughabove: :laughabove: :laughabove:
(The old ones really are the worst.. Its a tradition or an old charter or something)
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
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.
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...
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:
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
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 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:
