#WandsworthRecycling
The top picture is from Smugglers Way
The bottom figure is from @letsrecycle
What is Wandsworth Recycling like? Image
First up 2002-3
10.51% recycling overall 269th Image
2004-5
17.15% but down to 275th Image
2006-7
22.87% 109th! Image
2007-8
24.66%! No placing for some reason Image
2008-9
26.05% you can could where it was in the table yourself. Mid table I would say, but on the up! Image
2009-10
24.97% Falling back a bit. Image
Let's skip on a bit:
Ouch! 2013-14
three off bottom place in the country!
20.44% recycling Image
The figure from the top, 2016-17. All coming back to me.
21.9% ImageImage
2018-19
341st 23.2% Image
2019-20
23.7%
335th Image
2020-21
24.2%
330th Image
So what can we learn from this? Food waste is 43% weight of total waste. @The_10000 gave the council the solution, separate food waste collections, but they still say it is impossible.
24 London boroughs offer food waste collections to all kerbside properties. Nine boroughs do not currently offer this, including Wandsworth and Westminster. Wandsworth is now finally doing trials, after immense pressure. @CollectMyFood
So how is Wandsworth doing?
At 24% it is close to the 2008 high water mark figure but way from ideal. There is significant room for improvement, has the council as configured got the political will though?

So, holidays. Where is a good place to go? It is likely to be an el niño so it will probably be ferociously hot. How about Malaysia? Hmmm.

I bang on about the climate and ecological crisis, I know.
I have met climate refugees with @justshelter1
No such official definition exists, but I have met them.
They know.
I asked this man why he was in #Calais.
He told me: 'Nothing grows in Chad. Nothing has grown for 10 years, nothing will grow. What am I supposed to do?'
He is a climate refugee. @alex_randall
How many more?
There are already 100 million displaced, South Vietnam is likely to disappear under any plausible climate scenario. @Sir_David_King
Where will they go?

The charming story of two boxes, a planning application, how two shops become one, pavements became parking, and what happened.
Let's roll back the years and meet our heroic boxes in 2008!
@SW_Londoner @tootingnewsie
#GarrattLane #Earlsfield @wandbc @wandsworthnews
Let's skate on a bit on to 2015, the boxes have been bopped maybe as a result of the pavement/parking. The boxes look a bit edgy. The road is oily. The pavement is wider than before though, just in case social distancing is invented.
Londis has closed down, no longer seven days a week.
A black bag lurks.
The yellow line stutters uncertainly.

Day6 at #SaveTheTree #SaveYorkGardens The 100 year old rare black poplar T68 is due to be felled to make way for an electrical cable. @thameswater @TaylorWimpey @wandbc @UKPowerNetworks Details below. Image
For those of you who want some background blurb. winstanleyyorkroad.co.uk/masterplan
The trees you can see here would be about 30 years in the future, lovely light, lots of trees, people sunning themselves. It is a common visual trick used by developers. 'Artistic licence' Image
The #tree in question is this one, T68. It would be right in the middle of the new open space area. Image
