More details
In Bristol - a city which seems to be keen to take a lead on the environment - there exists no facility for the kerbside collection of plastic bottles for recycling, despite the fact that some of our neighbouring local authorities do provide this facility. This is leading to a sharp rise in street litter of plastic food and drinks packaging. Bristol needs to do more to retain its clean and green credentials.
- refuse to accept a national ID card
- refuse to fill out the 2011 UK census unless there is a Cornish ethnicity tick box option
- ask 50 people to 'un-subscribe' to renditions and other human rights abuses in the 'war on terror'
- add an article about reading to Wikireadia
