Alternative energy sources:
... energy, wether we like it or not, is what we will have to rely on. Wind power at the moment is not profitable, it costs too much to build and maintain wind turbines, and they do not pay back enough. Tidal power is good, if you can get permission to build a damn in some of the biggest river mouths of your country. Geothermal and hydroelectric power are the best alternative energy sources. Geothermal is tak... Read the full review: Nuclears great for now, but renewables will be needed eventualy. by Splooshiba |

Bins, Waste Management & Recycling ... in most boroughs is compulsory. The government has told us that we must be recycling a minimum of 40 percent of our waste by 2011. If a borough does not reach its targets on recycling there will be heavy fines imposed on the borough which will reflect on the council tax. Fines of up to £1000 will be imposed on residents who persistently refuse to recycle. Once you begin recycling you will become unable to put those things into your rubbish, it will become a natural habit to put your glass bottles, tins and boxes into your recycling box every time you go out the house. Extra recycling boxes can be provided on request. Some areas where there are many flats the... Read the full review: Do your bit for the environment by djaaum |

Waste disposal ... disposal was, until a few years ago, a topic that really wasn t that controversial. We generated waste, we binned it and the lid was shut. As, however, we became increasingly aware of the effect (actual or supposed) of our waste on the environment attitudes started to change. Various "forward thinkers" took it upon themselves to spread the recycling bug. Bearded men with cord trousers and plain Jane women with hippy skirts could be seen trudging along the roads by foot or, for the enlightened, on bicycles, to these rather strange domed receptacles that started springing up in (ironically) supermarket car parks and the like. In would go the newspapers ... Read the full review: Trash This! by cmh4135 |

Waste disposal ... - TRASH ========== Today you don t have to look too hard and view a politically correct message from your local council, shoving their big font junk through your post-box, stating on a non recyclable piece of flimsy paper the entrapment laws that will be enforced if you do not comply to strict measures of the waste disposal protocols. - To say I take interest in the monotonous long drawn out blurb giving diagrams in how to get rid of your empties, is about the same boredom factor as reading the new self assessment laws that don t really change except in 211.8pt when one word is US rather than THEM . The country has officially got grid-locked due to red-tape. ... Read the full review: Euro - Trash by 1st2thebar |
