nah i live in brighton, which is pretty good for recycling, and i think its a fairly small city. they havnt brought recyling bins into my area yet though, so i had to put that i make as much waste as everyone else. i do try and buy locally produced stuff though. i just dont get how meat eaters n car drivers are gettin lower footprint then me. and my flats pretty small i guess. not the sprawling loft apartment id like anyway.
I don't really know how it works, but i think one little 'fault' can make a BIG difference.. I think i got a few brownie points http://www.leicester.gov.uk/index.asp?pgid=1201 http://www.environmentcity.org.uk/docs/les_master_apr05.pdf Thanks leicester
