This morning we had a letter from the local council with regards to “Notice of Application for Planning Permission”

My first thought was “I wonder which one of our neighbours is planning to build now!”, but after further reading of the letter it turns out to be planning permission to the council from the council on operating collection of food waste and bulking!

So it seems that we will be getting the council giving us little bins or something similar for us to recycle our food waste, now no longer will we be throwing food in the normal bin, but now into a recycle bin.

That means we will have the normal wheelie bin, a bin for glass and tin, a bag for paper and a bin for waste food! You may of noticed no bin for plastics, no, in the councils wisdom, food waste is more important than recycling plastic, yeah right!

Ok it’s that time again for the Saturday Six and this week I’ve gone green, not like the Hulk, but green as in the environment. So without any further ado here’s this weeks six:

1. Do you recycle?
2. Have you fitted any energy saving light bulbs?
3. If you don’t have far to go, do you walk or still use your car?
4. Have you turned down your thermostats by one degree?
5. Do you leave your TV etc on standby or turn it off at the wall?
6. Do you wash your clothes on a 30 setting or higher?

As usual you can either answer the questions here or copy the questions on to your blog with a link back here (and leave a link in the comments).
