# funny that
It's quite good to see that so many B3ta folk are so environmentally minded though

# what was that?
I can't hear you with this air conditioning and heating system on at the same time!

# turn your speakers up.


*edit - actually, rather ashamedly I only recently learned what the knobs on the radiators do. So now I don't have to have the heating on in my drum room when I'm downstairs.

A little bit less wasteful everyday. :D

# Could you nip round to my old office in London and show them?
Every winter it's the same.

Turn all radiators on full.

When three people die of heat exhaustion turn them off.

When one person dies of hypothermia, turn them back on full.

When the walls crack and the glass in every window shatters, turn them all off again.

When a glacier forms in the corner, turn them all back on full.

And so on...

# Oh god yeah..
in our office, which is part of a larger shared building type thing. the radiator knobs are actually broken, so they're permanently on, very very high. And in a small room with mostly glass walls, 6 people and about 10 computers, it's not pleasant at all.

# I just live outside
with six patio heaters.

I use only disposable plates, cutlery and clothes.

And I wash in the blood of freshly clubbed baby seals, using manatee fat for soap.

But I only buy recycled toilet paper.

And i put the empty bottles in the normal bin - not the green one.

If they do, can I have one?

# My mate who lives in Milton Keynes...
...told me about a big kerfuffle a few years back when it emerged that the council put taxes up to pay for green bins, recycling bins etc, and then one lorry came along every week and threw everything in each bin in together =)

# hahaha
THAT'S what we pay council tax for.

The other year, Leeds city council got caught sending all of their 'recycled' rubbish to a landfill in Malaysia (or somewhere like that).
How fucking shit is that :¬)
