Is it just me, but wouldn't it make a wee bit more sense not to chuck it out in the first place?
High price of plastics raises prospect of rubbish mining in dumps
I must be sitting on a gold mine (just personally - what Junkk.com is set up to offer by way of getting people paid by those willing to fork out cash rather than a fine seems an opportunity, too!
Britain's bin baron says: get recycling like the Germans

Junkk.com promotes fun, reward-based e-practices, sharing oodles of info in objective, balanced ways. But we do have personal opinions, too! Hence this slightly ‘off of site, top of mind' blog by Junkk Male Peter. Hopefully still more ‘concerned mates’ than 'do this... or else' nannies, with critiques seen as constructive or of a more eyebrow-twitching ‘Oh, really?!' variety. Little that’s green can be viewed only in black and white.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.

ReplyDeleteIt would certainly be considerably easier than mining rubbish dumps for it!
How'd you find that???
ReplyDeleteI'd been looking all day... and I own the siet and have access to all the searchy thingies.
Anyway, looks like our pipe dreams are better than my spelling (I'll correct the H/L when I find it).
Er... should we mention this to any one? You know, I think I will...
