I always recycle my bottles. In fact, I consider it my civic duty to help my local off-licence to dispose of as much of its glassware as possible in an environmentally friendly fashion. What are you doing to save our planet?

So, where do all the bottles you recycle come from?........

Most of our rubbish, if I have owt to do with it, go to the recycling bin, not the normal bin.

Francis, that reminds me of the times I've driven up to the Morrisons bottle banks and started to offload the car. And Mr & Mrs Normal unload their car ... As do Mr & Mrs Normal #2 ... whilst I'm still offloading the car.

I am saving Our Planet by getting pissed. So that's two of us.

Next?

We have a compost heap that all fruit scraps and other degradables go on, bottles and tins go to the bottle bank at Sainsbury's, newspapers, etc, go in the blue bag that gets collected every so often and garden waste goes in the big white "Wirral Garden Waste Disposal" [caption probably wrong ] bag. Alas the council is completely ass-backwards when it comes to recycling anything else. Oh how I'd love to be in Germany with a different bin for every different type, colour and thickness of polymer.

Well not quite, but it's close

That's a relief...for a minute I thought it was just me who was doing that

I don't drive. That's my bit, and it may be small but it's still a lot of irreplacable natural resources that don't get wasted, and a lot of filth that doesn't get pumped into the atmosphere.

Energy saving lightbulbs. I eat little else.

I remember reading somewhere that that's worse for the planet, but I can't remember where.

Also, this thread reminds me of George Carlin's rant where he says something like 'the world has been around for 14 billion years and been through a lot, do you really think some plastic is going to destroy it? It's not going anywhere, we are. Stop being egotistical and admit it, you're not saving the planet, you're saving your ass. Enjoy the ride, baby!'

I save all my rubbish for 1 week,then I put it in a wheely bin and leave it outside on a Sunday night,on Monday morning it's gone.




Bloody Seagulls.

I think them very same gulls, visit the Gorbals too!

what's up Franny, you turned eco-warrior lately? I hoped this would be a topic about klick.

We have a private trash company at work, they recycle AFTERWARDS I hope.

Paper, cardboard, TL-lamps, empty Campingaz cartridges, loose diamond chippings (worth NAUGHT before you start jumping up and down, there, in the back of the class ), old employees, all go in one container.

So when I have enough trash at home, I just load it in my car and drop it in the container at work.

But I do recycle. I roll my own cigarettes, and I save the dogends. Four of those make a new fag, you know...

I always wondered what ingredients went into belgian beer

Apart from the loose diamond chippings (which seem to end up in English Black Pudding instead)... all of the above, yes, Simon!

I was listening to that at the time actually. But yeah, I think we're all becoming more environmentally aware aren't we? Even if all we do is open another bottle and worry about it tomorrow.

Well I light my farts as often as I can, not only to diminish the terror that is methane congestion, but to heat the room I am in and therefor avoid a strain on the National Grid.
Can any of you say you're as 'Think Global, Act Local' as I am?
I think not.

2.5 euro each month for bird protection....

40 euro's each week in the local bar....

I remove crusty old hippies from inner cities and release them into the wild.....
