Sustainable Computing
I spend a lot of time staring at monitor screens.
I test software for a living, which means I deal with all kinds of ‘Computer related’ issues.
PCs consume an inordinate amount of energy. But we need them! So how do we use our technology sustainably?
Not leaving machines on over night (even over weekends…) can help cut […] -

Catch the Pigeon!
The little blighters are at it again… relieving themselves in the street…
I am referring to Stroud’s perennial “Pigeon Problem” … The creatures in question lurk under the railway bridge and mess up the walkway.
I have had a few complaints about this issue. Do not fear this Town Councillor is on the case! (Polite suggestions of […] -

A ‘green’ carrot?…
Lib Dems want to be upbeat and positive where possible
Nick Clegg has spoken on the subject of encouraging green businesses. Rather than just taxing bad behaviour which pollutes our environment why not use the powers we have to make it attractive to ‘green’ the workspace.
I believe that the only way to ’save the planet’ (aka […] -

Wild China
Just watched a documentary on China.
It gives me hope that despite all the evils of the Chinese Communist Party there is new concern for the impact of economic growth on the environment.
Actually not a new concern. China has a lot of ancient traditions that call for harmony and respect for ‘Nature’
I know they build a coal power station every few days… […] -

Dirty streets of Stroud
Why do we put up with it?
Every Sunday morning when I am in town I see the mess left behind by the previous nights partying.
Unlike some public figures I don’t really blame the staff of the District Council who are ’supposed’ to clean the streets. They have a difficult enough job without me making political […] -

Carboard from the Kerbside
Recycling of carboard came up at the ‘Annual Town Meeting’ on 22nd May this year.
Much was made of the fact that the Cardboard Banks had been moved from Cheapside to Cainscross. The District Council claim that ‘traders’ had been dumping their waste and it cost too much to keep clearing it up…
I also liked the […] -

The alternative to the other alternatives…
I went to Hawkwood College yesterday.
Very interesting it was. I liked the idea of processing sewage via reed beds etc… I also liked idea of a ‘community farm’… although not sure how scalable it would be…
Stroud is well known for its ‘Alternative’ Culture. I am a bit of a ‘green’ at heart too!… but not […] -

Littter picking and WI lunches
There is something quietly satisfying in picking litter… Not sure what it is though!
The Common is a beautiful environment and I hate to see the cans, bottles and junk food (and worse…) scattered around places where children play.
This litter pick was organised by Rodborough Parish Council and as far as I’m concerned was a great […] -

Cycleways and disconected networks
Out in the cold and wet again today!… on top of a full day of software Testing, but hey I’m tough!
One person was concerned about lcoal lib dem transport policy. Can we connect up all the bits and pieces of the various cycle-paths etc… well maybe… I don’t like making promises I can’t keep… yes […] -

More Poo!
Oh yes, there is plenty of dog mess in Rodborough.
A resident reminded me of the allay way between Gastrells and Chandos Road. Full of the stuff! I will attempt to get a dog bin installed. Atleast then there will be no excuse for leaving poo where children travel every day…
nuff said.
