You were principled and decisive from the beginning for which Bowthorpe must be thankful. Graham Hemmings has done the sensible thing and opposed it today. Will Eve Collishaw also do the sensible thing at the 24th Jan and Feb tbc PTEWED meetings and say no to the Twowse incinerator for both Contract A and B. (yes B, we might get a MBT plant at Costessey which is fine, but an incinerator sneaked to the South of Norwich on the back of the Contract B process without going back to the procurement process for other new alternatives such as Autoclaving, Plasma Gasifiaction or even changed investment in a much needed Resource Recovery Park. Their will be a precedence set as the Whittlingham land has waste planning permission already. Two different bids at two different sites. Contract A & B sown up?? Where is the public debate on this, or input into having better MBT, Autoclaving or plasma gasification technology for Contract B??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-73912290674333522102007-01-08T16:59:00.000+00:002007-01-08T16:59:00.000+00:00Apparently This Blogg Ranks No11 in Iain dales Top...Apparently This Blogg Ranks No11 in Iain dales Top Bloggs List.

Plastic packaging, plastic bags, plastic containers, polystyrene packaging, and composite materials, this and that, and waste food turkey like the rest of us. Its a common problem. This is the next tranche of waste types we need to find a way to tackle culturally as consumers or by better technology, or both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-87776353284852111092007-01-08T13:18:00.000+00:002007-01-08T13:18:00.000+00:00Antony, Excellent.

Easy One is marked<br /> <br />"Kitchen Waste/ tea bags/ soiled paper/used tissues", the other <br /><br />"Non Recyclables" (crisp wrappers, clean film, plastic packaging. The kitchen waste is emptied into the home composter by 1-2 per week, and a thin layer of lawn cuttings/ garden leafs layered over it. We hope to get some "good stuff" for April/May to put on the garden/ tubs.<br /><br />"The Green Boxes in the outhouse". All paper,newspapers and card is put into one green box (its more bulky) and glass bottles/cans go into a second green box. Each is put out alternatively. Plastic bottles are recycled fortnightly at Sainsbury, but we could do will more plastic container banks around the city/other superstore. Flat dwellers probably need Kitchen waste and plastic bin collections in mini recycle schemes.<br /><br />What greens do not understand is that our consumer habits take time to change culturally and get into less wasteful habits. Its like a dietican asking a Fat Man to become an athlete over night.<br /><br />Summarising: Recycling is easy and habitual with organised kitchen and kerbside bins and greater convenience for people. Make it easy, people will Recycle. Make it hard, dogmatic zw and time consuming, people won't. <br /><br />Antony stay off the chocolate,pizzas, bacon buns and sausage roles they feed you on at NDHS.
