Beauty, Rubbish and Picking Up
Baglady says:
I’m always talking about how URGENT it is, that we take action to save our beautiful planet.
Recently people in government, education and environment circles have been asking me WHY I think it’s urgent.
Here’s some feedback from the Holywood [N.Ireland] Medieval May Day on May 5
We just recently received this press release from the Green party, and realised it needs everyone’s attention.
The Green Party has accused NILGA and ARC 21 of trying to introduce incineration into Northern Ireland by stealth using PPS18, by describing the burning of municipal waste as a renewable energy.

We just received an email from Lionel Smith, whose recent travels left him concerned about the amount of plastic waste he saw wherever he went, and left him resolved find a fresh and unusual way to approach the problem.

This is the kind of thing we have to face, and deal with
There are 84000 pieces of rubbish
on 2 miles of country road
between Galgorm and Cullybackey
It’s a narrow, winding beautiful road
with fields on either side
some lovely trees, an old cottage right on the edge of the road
which makes your heart, kind of, bend.There’s nobody ever walking on the road
because there’s no pavement
and the cars drive too fast
along this narrow bendy road
between Cullybackey and Galgorm
the 84,000 piecees of rubbish have been thrown out of vehicles passing along this road
and 95% of it, at least, will not break down for hundreds of years, if ever.
Baglady calls for action on plastic bags, packaging, and waste of all kinds
I started campaigning about plastic bags at the end of 2000, so it’s now 7 years on and we’re not winning yet. How much longer do we need?

With the amount of arable land in all Ireland, we either fill our bellies, or our fuel tanks.
