Theory of the month: global cooling
|
This week, I continued to fill my unwelcome extra wheelie bin with the newspapers I used to take to the recycling centre myself and paid the first of this year's council tax, which has doubled in a decade. Some £50 of this has gone to provide the aforesaid wheelie bin and there are about 20,000 like it in the Craven area of the Yorkshire Dales alone.
I bought a new (cheap) watch which came with a printed warning that should I need a new battery, I must take the old one to the council tip for recycling - a battery which is smaller than a 5p piece.
