For many years I conserved water in my home. Saved water and used it to fill my toilet cistern, water plants etc.
I also have a compost heap. Grass cuttings, paper, leaves etc.
Separated glass, plastics, cans washed them thoroughly, had them hanging around the kitchen in separate containers until I disposed of them.
I didn't use garden poisons to kill weeds, bugs etc. nor did I spray plants.
I am seeing Eamonn Ryan and the Green Party every day saying something in the paper about taxing us more, punishing us more. I can no longer take a drive along the coast in DunLaoghaire because of various road closures, ramps, bicycle lanes and so forth.
I have noticed that I am not saving the water that I used to save. I no longer let it mellow.....
The work in maintaining a compost heap requires, time, energy and work.
I am not sure that I can live with weeds in my garden.....my flower borders will have to suffice for the bees.
I read that my endless washing and separating of plastics could be a waste of time as they all get dumped in to the same mix and if someone else has contaminated them they are not recycled anyhow.
Then there are the neighbours who are creating Christmas trees in our local park with their dog poo bags, not to mention that factory in China that is producing more pollution than anything a thousand households could save...
