Coffee Cups, Again!

This announcement from Veolia is encouraging.

However, I'm not sure all the survey findings actually stack up. And I'd still like to find a way of preventing all those irresponsible motorists (and their passengers) who hurl their cups onto the verges and into the hedgerows around our village.


Grrr!

And Another One




Must be something in the water.

Name and Shame

Guideline Coaches - anti-social or what?




Note added 24 June 2017. I emailed Guidline about this on the day. Have I had an response? Have I hell!

Arctic Sea Ice - Or Not

These stats courtesy of New Scientist a couple of months ago:-


3sqm of Arctic sea ice disappear for ever 1 tonne of CO2 emitted.

a typical US car emits 1 tonne CO2 per 4000 km.

1 tonne of CO2 is emitted for each seat on a return flight from London to San Francisco.

the average European causes the emission of 7 tonnes of CO2 each year (for Americans double that plus!).

globally we emit 35 billion tonnes of CO2 each year.

at these rate the Arctic summer ice sheet WILL BE GONE by 2046.




Food for thought.
