Rant to my stoopid workplace!
I am ashamed at the moment of my workplace!
WE have had NO service provided for the collection of our recycling, and our plastics and cardboard are being thrown into the garbage! FOR EIGHT MONTHS!
In the last couple of months, I have put out a cardboard box, in the hope that cleaner would take the recycling out with this box. Staff have been using the cardboard box to collect their plastics, glass and cardboard. HOWEVER I have just been informed that our cleaner THROWS our recycling into the garbage as nothing has been arranged by the bigwigs here!
AND I WORK FOR THE DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT AND HERITAGE FFS!
Poor example in my opinion. I am fired up! And on a crusade! Incompetency! GRR!
On an environmental tip too:
We have horrendus flooding right now in the UK and Irelend.
I saw on the BBC news Sunday night, herds of cattle, sheep, horses being stranded in stinking 4 foot water with notning to eat. It got me really upset and worried so I called our RSPCA they said they couldnt do anything as it was Ireland, and I called the Irish Rspca (USPCA) got through to an emergency number where finally this guy told me there was just nothing he could do about these poor animals, so I said why not get the public involved, he said was too dangerous. Then he said that its because of a local massive housing estate thats just been built the surface run off, flood water with no where to go.
So I gave up on trying to help these animals, there is literally nothing I can do and the guy seemed adament that because hes seen dead foals and calfs floating past him all day that the problems way too big, so I said why dont you get the army in to shift it, the British army is over there, he said they wouldnt do anything, unless it was for publicity... so I was just getting madder and madder.
So anyway I had a look on the internet, found out one tree can transpire 4000 gallons of water a day... basically an acre of trees can transpire 600 tons of water... so my theory is plant more trees and there wont be flooding.
Or at least if it does flood, the water will dissappear easier into the atmosphere and not sit in massive man made concrete puddles creating a health hazard.
I know you have extreme droughts over there, but right now we have animals standing in stinking sewage dying... I wish re-cycling was the only thing we had to worry about. I called my local council and he said thier legislation from the government is to build more drains and more concrete ducts to deal with rain water..
dur. why cant you just plant some fucking trees.
