Topics

PCBs

I have recently read that PCBs in mackerel are reaching dangerous levels. What is the truth in this and what harm can PCBs do?







Rural transport

Can the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Planet panel see a day when country areas receive better public transport - a service based on need and not the size of population. If so, will the environment benefit?












Coffee and garden pests

If slugs are really killed by weak coffee, as recently reported, at first sight it seems the answer to many gardeners' prayers. But what about the effect on things that eat the coffee-flavoured slugs, like thrushes or hedgehogs? And since the original solution containing caffeine was being tested for controlling tree frogs, does this mean coffee might kill amphibians?





Corks

I have recently returned from Cologne where, in several restaurants and shops, I saw collection points for wine corks. Is there any collection agency in the UK. If not is it worth encouraging people to recycle them? Do the Germans know something we don't?
