Climate Change

The Glastonbury Recycling Crew has been picking up litter since the 90’s and they grow in size every year. Started by a man named Rocky and a trailer with a conveyor belt on to sort through the clutter, the team now boasts 2000 + volunteers and is lead by the company Critical Waste. The recyclers come from all over, with some travelling as far as Canada to be on the crew! They work in a variety of different shifts; some starting before the festival, some after and many waking up at 5am throughout the weekend! When the rest of the festival is either asleep or partying, the teams are busy picking up the mess left behind. It’s important to remember also the teams that stay behind once the festival is over, fine combing the fields for tiny pieces of rubbish. The fields need to be cigarette butt free before the cows come home!

Not only do the recycling team physically pick up litter, they also have dedicated teams ensuring that all the vendors at the festival are doing their bit too. Only compostable or reusable plates and cutlery are permitted on site, and the recycling team will ensure that nowhere uses plastic spoons or the dreaded plastic straws. It’s terrifying to know that plastic cutlery takes up to 400 years to decompose, so the work the Recycling Team do is essential to not only bringing the festival back each year but also protecting our beautiful planet.

Love The Farm, Leave No Trace!

If you’ve been to Glasto before you have probably heard or seen the motto ‘Love The Farm, Leave No Trace’. Recycling and sustainability are some of the core values of the festival, and festival-goers are encouraged to recycle where every possible.

.

The point is that these so called environmentally aware kids leave their crap for others to pick up.

Thought I had mentioned most that attend are adults.

Our youngsters did not invent the throw away society
and are more aware than most.

we didnt invent the `Throwaway Society,`
We had nothing and we threw Nothing away.
We recycled Everything,
Even went on the Tips to salvage clinker for the fire, and find spare parts of old Bikles and built our own from the Tips. ETC.ETC.

In its August 1, 1955 issue Life magazine published an article titled "Throwaway Living". This article has been cited as the source that first used the term "throw-away society".

Why would I be surprised, I haven’t questioned anyone’s intelligence, at school you learn from books and teachers,
At Fridays climate demonstration teachers were actively encouraging their pupils to join them, the kids were given
Placards to wave. The pupils should have been in class but were encouraged to be on the streets, which is to my
Mind wrong, the kids are being taught to break the rules to satisfy their teachers, J Corbyn was most pleased
That the kids took part,says it all to me.

Many authorities saw this as part of the education process and
the young one day a year to secure a future. Many
transport companies provided free transport. Companies gave
employees the day off in support, many adults became involved.

From one person 12 months ago to millions worldwide now,
it is not going away. All that is required is that politicians and
leaders do there jobs properly.

I hope that we do not start to defend the politicians to score
brownie points as thread after thread usually complains about
polies:

The young have lost faith in elders and leaders and it should not
be surprising.

I can add much more but my intention is only to express that all
is not one sided, there are all sorts of views and it is only fair that
our youth have a say.

They will inherit what is left.

There is no planet B:

I fear for my country if zealots like these ever gain power.

Not to put too fine a point on it, what the kids have more to worry about is the man at the top, our PM, who tried to have his mentor, a leader of church of the loony's attend the dinner in the White House, a man who covered for his father; a pedifile for many years, that is closer than the end of the world.

The views of a member may be regarded by others as wrong, that may well be the fact but we are all entitled to our opinions.

The marches that took place last week are not indicative of the greater global population.
Here in Oz, a notion of just over 25 million, 1.24% of the population took part in the marches.
Extrapolate that across the globe and even being a bit generous on numbers then no more that 2% took part.
Hardly a ringing endorsement of the issue.
A letter in our weekend paper.

"My 14 year old daughter has had a meltdown because I would not allow her to go to the march. I asked her if she could detail to me the personal sacrifices she would make to reduce her carbon footprint. She was unable to say anything. I then advised her that we would no longer supply her with power for her phone, nor operate the air conditioner, only buy recycled clothes from the op shop, never consume and processed food products etc and I was told that I just do not understand and my suggestions were ridiculous'

A second letter,
"Climate change protesters never seem to offer a solution, they just state what our gov should do. How about a whole life solution that includes everything from what we eat and how we grow or farm it, our transport options and how the materials for these are manufactured, including energy used to cook etc and how we should produce the energy and how are we to turn iron ore into steel without the use of coal in a Bessemer converter as there is no other way of doing it?

The today the UN council, that wonderful toothless tiger, one Veto from a permanent member and nothing happens, said the last five years have been the hottest on record.
They did however omit to say which records they were referring to, global co-ordinated weather records keeping only began in1948.

'You can fool all of the people half of the time, and half of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time'.

At the UN Meeting on global warming or Climate change several major countries will Not attend. including BRAZIL who has set the Lungs of the world on fire in the Amazon
So what is the point unless the whole world stops trading with Brazil and Indonesia .


Also I think that Seafarers who continuously watch the weather patterns as part of their job and Safety, and travel around the world in all climes Know a little more than a classroom "Ology" a 16 year old girl who has been brain washed and set up , and other school kids.,
I have been doing it for 70 years now so I do know more than Greta Thunberg.
