READING POLLUTES KENT?

Reading Borough Council takes their recycling very seriously. When you’ve been found out to have been lying to the Council Tax payer over recycling statistics – who wouldn’t?

If you’ve been sent an ‘Official Warning’ about contaminating your recycling bin, or not putting it near enough to the pavement, or putting it out too early or bringing it in too late or fined £100.00 or even worse, prosecuted for being less fucking pious than them, you’ll know what I mean (for the record – I haven’t been).

Now, RBC and RE3 are so damn efficient, they promise to take crap MDF – that’s the wood by-product made with urea formaldehyde and resins and turn it into an organic biomass which some outfit in Kent allegedly sets fire to and hey presto – creates energy.

Have they really thought this one through? Maybe we should ask the poor people breathing in the emissions from the chimney burning this resin soaked shit in Kent – that’s if you can find out where this pushing the envelope technology is happening? I haven’t been able to.

Adrian Windgust of the Greens - where are you? Do your colleagues in Kent know that these fumes are blowing in the wind?
