another stupid idea

[stormy]

ok so some may not agree with me here.
i hear that they are now trying to ban people from having bonfire to burn waste such as prunnings as such forth, Why?.
ok if your smoke goes over a road then it is illegal, but in most cases a bonfire is somewhere no one else lives.
we have bonfires, we burn paper, and most our garden waste that wont rot on a compost heap. and we recycle everything else.
if i was to put all my garden rubbish in a bin, i would need a bin the size of a football field. so hate to think of someone with 1000 acres would have.
isnt it better that we do burn our rubbish if we can, isnt there enough waste anyway.
i see people dump their prunnings and lawn cuttings in plastic bags in hedgerows up and down the county. because in some places you arent even allowed a compost heap.
if they ban us from having bonfires surely that will get worse.
the people who moan about bonfires around here moan about the smell of cowshit as well, councils should ignore all like that and ask how it wil affect real people.

Carbon emissions my dear, it's the eco-facists again...you know the ones who go on about the environment and CO2 while buying imported food.

Well I normally take all my cardboard boxes and polystyrene bits to the council recycling place, but anything else burnable goes into my garden incinerator and the resulting ash goes into the compost bins.
To be honest, since I started using compost bins, I've noticed that the majority of household waste is bloody supermarket packaging and its plastic and polystyrene, so you can't burn it.

that is so true, it melts, trouble is our bonfire are so bloody hit they tend to singe your eye brows at 100 paces.
but like everything, we know that cutting down on waste means cutting down on plastic and using stuff we can recycle but the things most burn arent household waste, more half a tree.
i love wood smoke.

and and, while i think about it, the bloody councils are always having bonfires that blow across the road. they are removing the rest of the trees from ashdown forest (why, your guess is as good as mine) and funny enough burning the shrubery).

on another note, i love the smell of a chainsaw on a crisp spring morning, its like the first summer rain..romantic
