litter or recycling

Its been a while since my last blog but hey there has been much happening , including a spell of poor health but im back.As i was driving this morning in my so called greener car to drop off the family at school all at the same place i may add, i could not help but notice all the plastic bottles paper etc all over the roads verges and footpaths.all due to either poor filling of the recycle bin or just plain bad loading of the lorry, which i must admit seems to be the case, this also brought to mind my recent visit to a little village called Longwick , yes everything is divided , paper, bottles compostables and landfill, but in open little boxes, nett effect  open light articles blowing freely up and down the road, i ask the question again is this green or just a litter that's makes people feel better because they are doing their bit ?
On a more personal note all my new potato's are close to planting and seeds are in pots waiting to germinate including Portuguese greens which last 9 yrs and stand over a metre tall. My waste is still on the decrease, my landfill bin is only half full after 2 weeks and recycle bin looks on the way to half full after 4 weeks, not bad going with a family of 4.  Hopefully the log burner will soon be on its way too with the money almost here  from a road compensation scheme,, at least a new road will do some good even if it is to help my family become a little more efficient and less reliant on gas for heating. hopefully there will be more to write tomorrow .
