I think we are getting bteetr at being environmental friendly in this country, and the environmental education in schools is catching on.There are lots of good schemes going in communities through agencies like Ecoschools, Grounds for Learning and Learning Through Landscapes which are helping, and Greenspace projects work extensively with communities, as well as local authority green and recycling schemes, which are consistantly developing. So all in all, I think the future for UK ecofriendliness is fairly positive.It will take a while to happen though, but I think the changes need to be made in Government. If I could afford solar panels, a windmill, a green roof, a hybrid or electric car and could rely on public transport to get me to work in less than 2 hours, my carbon footprint would substantially decrease, and I''m sure I''m not the only one. If they gave everyone in the UK a windmill and solar panels and set up community generators, rather than digging up sensitive and sssi designated land for windfarms it would cost less, but the problem here is that it creates less work and isn''t good for business to encourage people to be more self suffiecient the energy companies would lose out big time.In my house, we already reuse and recycle everything we can, bike when we can, use the higher octane fuel in the car (which is meant to be slightly kinder), grow some of our own fruit and veg, use less energy, etc, etc. But hitting us with taxes when we are trying to do our best by the planet isn''t going to help. I agree that the changes need to be made commercially, as we are often victims of trade in what is available to purchase, and we are already being taxed to high heavens. Speaking of the heavens, the only tax I would change is for planes, and add the extra a375 cost to flights, but rather than giving it to the government or flight agents, put it directly to planting more trees and saving the rainforest.The problem is that enterprise and business seem to come before the needs of the environment, as economics hold a special place in the heart of politicians. And in the UK, we add 2% to the world carbon emissions, and this needs to be balanced against what the rest of the world is burning. Shouldn''t China and the USA take a bit of extra responsibility, although it''s good to hear that Arnie is behind California going green. Surely there is money to be made in the new technologies which are more efficient, and helping the 3rd world countries could potentially open up business and trade. It''s a big, hard ugly problem that isn''t going to be solved overnight by taxing everyone. |

Interesting observation, Patrix. I aylwas seem to have taken my 50 mm lens (which, with a 1.6 crop factor makes it an 80 mm lens), so no wonder all the shots have a very narrow angle. It is a very popular place. Only on weekdays (when, on a break from work, I would wander about in Brussels and drop in at one of their outlets) I would sometimes have the table all for myself. They have a few outlets in the U.S too, apparently. |

Yes, definitely. In fact, it will acalulty help your acne because salicyic acid will exfoliate your pores, remove excess oil and it also has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action. Just make sure you keep your skin protected afterwards with a high spf sunblock. |
