Why do we need to spend money on trees 
Maybe if they didn't waste all that money there, fuel duty wouldn't go up...

I recycle all my cardboard at the shop, and in Bournemouth the council have supplied everyone with a 2nd wheelie bib for recyclable waste. So in that aspect im green but only because local laws say I have to be. I think the fines can be upto £1000 in bournemouth if you put recyclable products in the non recycling bin, and as a business we have to have a trade agreement to have our waste taken away. If not, you can get prosocuted.
My own personal opinion is that global warming is a the way of the world. The climate changes naturally, hence ice ages etc, and the temperature goes up before the levels of carbon in the atmosphere do.
And like fuck did the old boy get a rise

Annoys me that they give you a recycle bin, but can't recycle everything. Then put tax up on cars etc. All we can recycle is paper, card, thin broken up corrugated card, plastics bottles, tin cans & mags/brochures etc. No yoghurt pots, Flora tubs, other packaging.
They want to get the recycling plants sorted in this country, before investing in Africa imo.
But that is a subject for another day.

it's nothing to do with recycling plants. here in doncaster it's just because the older vehicles don't have the capacity to hold plastics as there wan't a "market" for them when the scheme was introduced

Ryan, they allow plastics.
For example, a milk bottle, they will take the bottle, but not the lid...
And our vehicle is brand new.
