Week 8: Trash toxic waste...

This week I was asked to join a campaign group to stop toxic waste being dumped in the UK.
A topic that had a lot of media coverage in 2003, but today there are other priorities on the Friends of the Earth website, which I was directed to.

As an aside, the web address is quite amusing and I wonder if they thought about it when they bought it - www.foe.org.uk - which are they friends or foes?! It could be that they did and thought it was memorable, or it could be that it was an unfortunate mistake on the part of the marketing department. Lesson to be learned - really think about your web address!

Anyway, back to the task in hand. Well I was asked to support FOE, and so I have today sent an email to my local MP as part of The Big Ask campaign to support a strong climate bill and I have asked Gordon Brown to increase the incentives for people to buy less polluting cars.
