TOPICS
Asthma and CFC's
My asthma inhaler still uses CFC's as a propellant - what damage am I doing to the Ozone hole?
Julian Mount, Leicestershire
Cholorophyll and creeping thistles
Over the last few years I have noticed more colonies of the creeping thistle with chlorophyll-free shoots, so much so that in this part of East Sussex it is difficult to find patches of the thistle that are wholly green. Can you explain this phenomenon? Is it something that has always occurred in certain areas or something new?
Chris Bindon
, London
Recycling Plastics
Can the team give practical advice, please?
I try to recycle as much plastic as possible, but our local authority
only accepts certain types of plastic, as I understand it, PPP, PAL
and HDPE.
Things such as cream or yoghurt pots do not fall into these
categories. I also understand that it is difficult for water
companies to clean up dairy products. So what do I do with these
items? Do I wash them before putting them in the dustbin, or put
them in the dustbin as they are, where they will contribute more to
methane and global warming?
Andrea Polden, Chesham
Increased C02 and plant growth
Is the natural response to increased levels of C02 in the atmosphere more verdant plant growth? If so, aren't their some benefits?
David Williams, Suffolk
Aspen die-back
I listen to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Planet here in the US. There is some concern here about the fate of Aspen trees - can you tell us what's happening?
Sharon Mesci, New England
