Home truths

We are all being encouraged to recycle. In our area, houses are being bought and then demolished. The planning department seems to have no objections to the practice of kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and mountains of stone being thrown into a skip.

My cardboard and plastic bottles pale by comparison. Hopefully a more far-sighted group of people in government and council departments will try and curtail this trend.
