Recycling seems to be a dominant theme this morning.
There is the report that a catamaran made of 12,000 plastic bottles, and appropriately named Plastiki, has set sail from San Francisco to Sydney to draw attention to plastic waste and the need for recycling. Powered by solar, wind and sea turbines, the voyage will pass the ‘Great Pacific Garbage Patch’, an area of waste said to be about five times the size of Britain. Good luck to them.
There is news of the gentleman in Argentina who has built a five-bedroomed house entirely out of recycled glass bottles. The task took him twenty years and used up six million bottles. His theme also is for the need to recycle, and good luck to him as well.
And now we now know that we can even recycle MPs, as witness the four, including three former cabinet ministers, who were caught in a ‘sting’ by Channel 4 and the Sunday Times. It is alleged that they demanded fees of up to £5,000 a day for acting as lobbyists to influence government policy even though Parliamentary rules prohibit sitting MPs from doing this.
Yes, it’s good to recycle!
