Stephen Tall on the political infighting about Oxford’s recycling scheme:
With only one-third of the
city so far covered by the new scheme, Oxford’s recycling rate has
already increased from 19% this time last year to 27%. In most cities,
this would be a cause for celebration, and an occasion to thank the
Council staff and local residents who have helped achieve such a result.
Perhaps it would in most cities but in a rational one it would be a cause for lamentation. As recycling uses more resoures than landfill any increase in it simply goes further in pissing off Gaia and boiling Bangladesh.
Perhaps someone could start a reality based Liberal Party, one that only adopts policies which actually work towards the declared goal?
