If the Green Party are so concerned about Waste and cutting down on Waste Paper..


.. Why are they bombarding us with so much Electorial Garbage... Far more than any other Party

with the possible exception of The Lib. Dems.


Very little from the Conservatives.. and Labour

'Mate' of mine is has been a green councilor, and stood for virtually every national election for the last few years. He is now campaigning for Brexit. Totally confused me as a major plus of the EU is on the environment.


But I think that Hitler was pro green, pro vegetarian and pro Jewish homeland. I am probably confused.


This doesn't really explain http://green-leaves.org/

I guess as they are a party on the periphery, and advertisement is essential for exposure. Think about how much paper is printed with Labour and Conservative details when put in the daily papers/metro/standard etc. Speculate to accumulate I suppose.

Recycled paper bought and printed locally is not necessarily any more wasteful of resources than digital communication. Consider the massive server farms around the world and all the infrastructure that entails ? it's been estimated that some 10% of the world's electricty goes on powering the digital economy. And then consider the resources and environmental costs of phones, tablets, PCs, shipping, cabling, marketing etc etc. In that light getting several thousand flyers printed up at your local print shop doesn't look quite so bad.

    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. It was the only place within walking distance  locally which had availability that day, apart from the Plough (which ironically we wanted to avoid after previous bad experiences with the food  there). We did complain at the time, and were given a free bottle of wine (we don't often drink wine and were having beer with the meal) but we did not want to make a huge fuss and spoil other people's day as well.  Our detailed complaints in an email  were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
    • Looking for an iPod - preferably a classic - with at least 60gb storage.  Anyone have one hiding in a drawer? Thanks. 
    • Sorry to have missed this one but hope to make the next.  Re suggestions, is the Angel Oak too far?  Or the Cherry tree
    • Not strictly a new place but new to me: stumbled across a fabulous cocktail bar at 210 Rye Lane - we loved the gorgeous, eclectic interior, they make any cocktail you can imagine and will be doing small plates. Think it's called XOTO? opposite the Tesco express at that end of Rye Lane.
