Changes

We do need more of this practical approach in the debate about climate change, I think. We hear politicians grandstanding and campaigners being emotive, but what we actually need are costed and simple plans. Butterworth's closed loop recycling of waste to land is without doubt a great example of such a plan. The blueprint is relatively simple, relatively cost-effective, understandable by just about everyone, and doesn't frighten us by prescribing too painful a hair shirt.

My thanks to the nice people at MX Publishing for sending the book.
