You’re right, Fred, the link on The Times website no longer works. Sorry about that.

Insprining stories. However, I still have doubts if the briquette production is commercialy viable. I read a lot about failed briquette projects. We would like to introduce this concept in our projects but are still a bit hesistant . Any other experiences with this approach?

Hi Alastair
I live in Rynfield,Benoni & I’m interested in helping out the environment by recycling my waste/rubbish at home. Is Rynfield covered by the collection area? How do I go about it? Please supply me with further information via my email address: triciatolda@hotmail.com
Thanking You
Tricia
P.S. I live in a complex where there are 25 units & we have a specific waste/rubbish area/collecting bay. I will be contacting the owner of the complex,as he too lives on the property, to see if I can distribute letters to all tenants & see if they too are interested in recycling.

Comment on Slow uptake for solar geysers. I’m not surprised. by Marius

Good Day
I’ve reading so many comments /views etc. Thought I’ll add this. I think Escom(Goverment) is the clever one here.
I personally think this whole “power thing” is a gimmick. First they create the “blackout” nightmare, the result, everyone import/buys generators,ups’s etc. Goverment made billions on import duties,fuel taxes ect. not lifting a finger, ok I think I got that wrong, they actaully did use a finger now and again, to flip a switch or two. Then blackouts gone. Everyting quiets down for a few months.Now they start again by letting us now in a professional way that they are going to increase the price of electricity. All they are doing is to collect additional funds from you and me. In return they offer us a rebate on the installation of a solar geyser. Actually all they are doing is giving back a small % of the impossed increase. Know that’s what I call business sense.

Solar energy is still too expensive and complex to get into practical use, the fossil is still prefered for most occasions. Moreover, the people in the developing countries are playing the nost significant role in the environment issues, due to the large populatoin and poor technology. Science and technology is still not developed in the field of environment and energy.

Comment on 350: Saturday’s climate change number by Andrea Kobeszko

Climate change is an issue of evergrowing concern. In November torrential rains sparked mudslides and flooding in El Salvador, killing over two hundred and leaving thousands homeless. El Salvador recently partnered with IEDRO, http://www.iedro.org, the International Environmental Data Organization, in an effort to rescue over a hundred years worth of data left in warehouses. IEDRO will rescue and digitalize all of these records, to be used by computer forecast models to improve flood and mudslide warnings in El Salvador.
