does anyone else get annoyed by having to carry all your glass recyclables to the local supermarket - surely these are worthwhile collecting by the council?]]> Recycling Tue, 16 Sep 2008 23:20:50 GMT http://greenergosforth.forumotion.net/recycling-f8/glass-recycling-t8.htm#8 http://greenergosforth.forumotion.net/recycling-f8/glass-recycling-t8.htm http://greenergosforth.forumotion.net/books-f11/green-literature-question-t15.htm tricky1 There's a little green guide but I can't remember what it is called.

We think that the amount of washing required to keep them clean is as bad for the environment - be it in a different way - as disposing of disposable nappies. I wonder if other people have looked into this and can provide more information to decide one way or the other. We have thought that maybe they become more practical as the ...

So the energy companies will continue to profit.

How does the bike scheme work? Companies are able to loan their staff bikes and cycle equipment as part of their employee benefits package. The Bike Scheme then makes it possible for employers to offer employees tax reductions if they wish to enjoy the benefits of cycling to work. By taking advantage of these generous tax exemptions, employees will make a ‘salary sacrifice’ in return for the tax-free benefit ...
