A rubbish Christmas

Yes, loads a rubbish after Christmas, so? We should make manufacturers use eco recycling friendly packaging then it would vastly cut down on rubbish

BGT Outrage

Inappropriate dancers cavorting before the watershed?
Britains got Talent is pushing the boundaries .
Personally its not a program that entertains me. Simon Cowell is there with Jeremy Clarkson as irritating as a mosquito bite.
Why a watershed? In these days of catchup tv and the internet kids can watch what they want when they want . It used to be that parents could be sure that before 9pm it was safe to let their children watch TV. Not so now. Even dull soaps are now spiced up at ant time of day. Topics whilst sometimes sanitised are not suitable viewing for children as young as 5. Corrie is not kids tv. I blame parents . They let children have tv and iinternet with no control. They get dvd s and games  from older children. Do parents know.
How DO we police this?

The Recycling Fiasco

What does your council really do with your waste?

Is it a con?

It certainly is ridiculous. How are people expected to know what is recyclable and what is not. The manufacturers have a responsibility  There are too many forms of plastic - not all recyclable and then what if they are mixed?

1. What we need is uniform scheme of collection all across the country,
2. Legislation to make manufacturers use recyclable materials and label them clearly.

The amount of packaging is ridiculous, bottles in plastic wrappers with cardboard around.

Mark recyclable containers with the 3 circular arrows, not numbers - who knows if its 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5? and which is recyclable here but not there.

We don't need plastic made from oil we can use a form of cellulose from plants - works the same and is biodegradable.

Wood is good. Even if we landfill it. Wood = carbon. Buried it stays our of the atmosphere, degrades and we plant more trees to replace hence reducing CO2.

Lets get it sorted for the planets sake.

Rubbish its a nightmare.

Rubbish! yes its not just thinking about recycling but we can't help what stuff is packaged in. So many different types - its confusing. There should be more standardisation and regulation so we'd easily know what is and isn't recyclable.

Every Council should have the same system, ours doesn't collect Glass, my son's does. If you put stuff in the wrong bin, or the wrong stuff in the BIN they fine you or refuse to collect. How are we supposed to know what bit of plastic IS recyclable which is NOT? There should be one system. The recycle logo printed on if it is, if its not on NO. Simple. All councils should collect waste in the same way then we know and there are no excuses.
