Rubbish

In brief,  they want more drinking fountains in London so we don't have to throw away so many plastic bottles.  Someone's come up with a plastic container that you can eat. I wonder what you wrap it in.  Should you be entitled to a doggy bag in Scotland?  Your clothes are probably polluting the oceans, but some people have the balls to solve this problem.  Plastic Planet is a pressure group seeking to banish plastic from the planet, or a lot of it anyway. They are targeting supermarkets.  The Local Government Association is targeting chewing gum manufacturers. Let's aim for Zero Waste to Landfill. The Carbon Trust has a document that tells us how. On the energy front,  there's trouble at Drax and  there's a new renewables project in the wind on the Outer Hebrides. Scientists have discovered a material which absorbs CO2. Good news, maybe, for Al Gore who launches An Inconvenient Sequel in July. Finally, a word from a concerned citizen, writing to my local paper.
