Eco-Ology, being Green

_1370742 - Lot of noise about the Isle of Wight wheelie bins and kitchen waste bins. Plus when you read the outside of the can, it's just for the Isle of Wight, nobody else in the world. I am pleased that the council is so diverse and looking beyond it's borders :(
The schedule of collection and the pretty leaflet that tells you when they will collect and what you can put in your array of three plastic buckets, is amazingly complex to, just to add to the fun.

Then the Isle of Wight was one of the first to have water meters installed (a few years ago), so these guys now want you to wash stuff before placing it in the bin. It takes 10 lbs of water to wash 1 lb of solids down the sewage. So instead of putting in landfill, we'll probably be putting in the sea in a diluted form.
Apart from having to almost bar code reading everything and checking the bin, but only eating certain things on certain weeks, we are now going to increase our water bills and use more of that valuable resource to achieve eco-ology.

Of course most of stuff that you put in this little beauty could go on your compost heap and some to feed the nature that's visits our gardens. I suspect that would be uncivilised though. Just imagine if a bird picks up a piece of carrot and drops it on the highway, you'll probably get a bill for littering :)

Any ways gave me an opportunity to have a go a shooting something shiny and green in the garden to practice light and focus.
