The cost is shame and derision from our neighbours, when they now all know how much alcohol we consume by the contents of our recycle bin.

There is big money to be made from recycling but the householder never benefits it's the local authority, your council who reap huge sums from this enterprise. The worst case of energy saving is the gas.co scam whereby customers are asked to sign up to a three or four year deal during which the price of gas will be 'fixed'. Fixed is the operative word here. Gas prices will begin to fall in 2007, so those who signed up to save money will be faced with a fixed price based upon the high price of gas during 2006.

If you mean recycling their household waste then it doesn't cost anything. The council wher I live now only do a refuse collection fortnightly to try encourage people to recycle more because the landfill just can't cope with it anymore. If you mean gas and electricity saving energy that way then it can be expensive, putting cavity walling in, insulation in the loft and such.
They are not scams most gas and electricity suppliers are trying to get you to switch, they are all basically the same.

What scams? Saving energy and recycling are responsible ways of protecting the environment - who is scamming who and how? I'd be interested in knowing your sources & the details. Or is this like hydrogen fueled cars where is takes more energy to make the hydrogen than if the cars just continue to run on petrol & diesel as they currently do?

If most people knew how wasteful most recycling programs were,there would be a public backlash that would make Watergate seem tame.The amount of fossil fuels expended alone adds more pollutants to the environment than the recycled items remove.The cost is exorbitantly high as well.Often times to simply put the items in a landfill after the system cant absorb the volume of materials.

How many people are aware that 'New Labour' have proposed a new way to tax us? They propose that those people who's houses are not energy efficient with state of the art boilers etc will pay a higher community charge. If you live in a house about one hundred years old you can't(usually) have cavity wall filling and in any case where are people on low fixed incomes to get the cash?

Shirl,
If you council is only doing it's colections once a fortnight, have they reduced that element of your council tax? If not, then it is a scam

I'm not sure, but I definitely think Gas and Electricity provides are making the most of this supposed "ENERGY CRISIS"

Yes, you're right! It's part of an international Zionist conspiracy, or immigrants, or something....
Or you could just be stupid enough to believe something that a drunk in a bar will tell anyone who buys him a drink.
