Freecycle

Freecycle is a network of groups dedicated to giving stuff for free in their towns. This is a great idea, re-use is far better than recycling since it takes no energy. People are far to willing to throw away rather than make do or mend.

30 to 40% of UK food is wasted

The lack of recycling in the UK drives me a little mad. We have just moved from Christchurch, New Zealand where there is a waster pays scheme. What a great idea, you ceratinly try not to waste. Each bin bag you dump on the kerb costs a dollar. They support the scheme in positive ways by allowing recycling of everything (from the kerb) from cardboard, paper, glass, tin, plastic bags to egg adn milk cartons. You can buy mulched garden refuse from the dump, so they create a revenue stream from waste.

In the UK the story is far different. Not only is there little recycling, it seems that a lot of food never even reaches the kitchen. The independent reports, "Two years ago, I was forced to discard a whole crop because the potatoes failed a blemish test. They were all perfectly good to eat but they rotted in the ground because they did not live up to our twisted idea of perfect food. We have our priorities wrong."
