I feel so sorry for all the people badly affected by the recent floods. How awful to have cars and homes ruined. It will cost a lot of money to put right. We will all have to pay higher insurance premiums but much worse than that will be the misery experienced by those unfortunate people who suffered recently.
Our planet is getting hotter. We all know this. More water than before is evaporated as the oceans get warmer. The increased temperature of the atmosphere means that clouds can get much bigger before they need to disgorge their wetness on the earth below. Hence the larger rain storms and floods experienced all over the world, including last week in Bracknell. To understand the problem I urge readers to borrow the DVD "An Inconvenient Truth" from their local library.
We all have to do our bit to help future generations by reducing the impact of climate change. After a poor start, Council policies on recycling have shown improvements over the last four years. This has been with the encouragement of the Bracknell Green Party which has, over the last few months, suggested further changes to Council procedures.
One suggested enhancement is the weekly collection of food and vegetable waste in a special container. Such waste should not be sent to landfill. Many properties in the Borough do not have the space for composting and so BFBC should take responsibility for this form of recycling rather than encourage people to put such biodegradable material into their rubbish bin.
