Your Eco Footprint

Re: Your Eco Footprint
International City - making strides towards a better Dubai by introducing a recycling programme.
Yes - that's right - the recycling concept you sometimes see around Dubai has reached us WAAAAAY out here (why does everyone think we are so far away from Dubai?)
We have seperate bins for paper, plastic and metal.
The missus and I seperate our rubbish and place it appropriately in each bin as and when.....until the other day.....when the collection truck arrives just as we step out to get rid of some rubbish.
We watch the driver take each bin and dump it straight in the back...all mixed up again.
I guess they haven't really got the concept yet.

best recycling here is to put anything outside and go back five minutes later.....guarenteed some bloke on a bike will be half way down the road with a sofa/tv/load of cardboard strapped to the back

I heard or read somewhere that there are more people alive right now than the sum total of all the people who have ever lived....EVER. A little bit of googling just now leads me to think it's more like 10% of everyone who has ever existed is alive right now but that's still frightening.
Humans...our existence is in jeopeardy because we exist.

Re: Your Eco Footprint
Any efforts are just delay tactics IMO anyway. Human population growth is going to ruin this planet eventually.

offsetting is a bit of a cop out but with the right project at least you help out some poor schmuck unlucky enough to be born in the third world and can feel suitable smug about your "offsetting"

Re: Your Eco Footprint
Your footprint is
3.09 planets
Not that bad..
But we need new frontiers or we´ll dig our own grave as a race.
