Reported in the news today about the,I'll call them what they are,terrorists,they are so called eco warriors, eating McDonald's and other fast food takeaways while blocking up London,why are they not protesting about fast food outlets while they are there,fast food outlets produce lots of waste per neal every time you have a burger and fries,etc.
Are all the eco warriors using the loos in McDonald's and other eateries or have they bought thier own portaloos with them?

Perhaps if we accepted that some foods are seasonal, and stopping transporting exotic fruits and veg from far off lands would reduce the amount of transport seen both on our roads and the oceans. I've even seen flowers in Tesco's imported from Kenya of all places....
If we were to use some of the space we have in our gardens to grow our own instead of block paving and concreting over good growing land. I know not everyone has a garden, but allotments could be designated and run by local groups of gardeners for the benefit of the village or town.
We have Village gardeners here where I live, mostly retired people who love gardening. They do a brilliant job keeping the village looking nice with baskets and pots spaced around the verges and greens and if they turned their hand to growing veg on a vacant plot of land I would definitely volunteer.
We have grown lazy over the years, driving short distances and disposing of more waste than seen at any other time in my life. As a boy we had one small dustbin collected every week, half full most weeks, now we have three large wheelie bins ( a black bin for general rubbish, Green bin for gardening rubbish and Blue bin for paper metal and most plastics) and a green box for glass, packed to the gunnels most weeks.
I can't understand why glass bottles and jars are not recycled.....
They are collected, broken up and added as cullet to new glass at the point of manufacture. My Dad worked for Rockware Glass and said that only a certain amount of cullet (10%) could be added to the mix when making new bottles. All the heat and energy in the firing process could be reduced if the bottles and jars were kept whole and reused by companies (like in the old days) and returned to be used again without the need to be smashed and reformed.

On a visit to M&S yesterday I was amazed to see every product was made abroad.....Bangladesh was top of the list with most items originating there, most upmarket things came from Cambodia with China being responsible for the rest. I could not find one single item made in the UK or even the EU....
All the pottery and kitchen Items were made in China.....

Regards Donkeyman!
I think she's done her bit now, by being the 'figure head' and being overshadowed by the theatrical productions which to my mind have no impact at all.
