I use my green waste bin as a water butt Alot better than most water buts as top is wide enough you you can dip a watering can in, unlike most others that are too narrow. Also thoose cheap plastic taps at the bottom of bought butts are totally useless imo as they takes ages to fill a watering can and break easy as the plastic gets brittle. Having say 10 or 20 bins daisy chained etc would be even more useful to store more water. Reuse is more eco than recycle

They white wash alot of trees in some countries I assume against sunscald or pests or both. I dunno how effective it is but doesn't seem to be harmful. Loads of white washed trees in France & Greece etc both street trees and orchards.

Population increase but also... The large number of second homes etc increases each yr Also there are less council houses available every yr, right to buy etc... Homelessness increases.... Where will it end no idea but maybe gradually get more like USA where they have huge homeless shanty towns in some places. No UK politcal party seem willing to tackle the issue.
