Talking rubbish.

Dear AB Editor, can we please have a category on recycling. This has become, one of the most talked about subjects in recent years and would I'm sure, be an instant favourite with everyone on this site.

[Octavius]

It most certainly does not pollute me!

On the outskirts of Bangkok, generators fueled by methane from swine manure make electricity. India has also negotiated dozens of carbon credit sales in projects ranging from hydro stations to harnessing methane gas released by decomposing garbage. Now, in Chatterbank, if we could capture all the ..........

Gas?

[Octavius]

Naturally

this posting alone has polluted the environment

[Octavius]

Oh don't worry cazzz. China Doll has more than made up for it by trumping in her own wind farm. Its all the rage, apparently.

I don't recall it being me who was a fan of the trumping on wind farms Octavius... Although I do recall there was some interest in the recycling of water.
