Unfortunately we like to do things big here, even if its bad for the environment.

Chase your dreams. In high heels of course.

That is shocking... And when it comes to setting an example while we are all cutting back who on earth needs 43 Christmas trees and 79000 lights....

I'll give you a clue in case you don't know,,, he lives in a big white house in Washington DC.

Conservation doesn't apply to anyone in Washington DC.

That's really not good but I think people are not really thinking at all. Even locally to me they are having their usual competition to see who has the best lights in their garden. It's often for charity but these are not home made things from surplus. They are plastic, probably all from China so their environmental impact would likely wipe out their families lessening footprint for the whole year. I bet that they don't even consider it

Just to add - The best Christmas garden decoration I have seen yet is a Christmas hat on a small wooden dog made from logs. It was cute

Another van was crushed today because the owners were suspected of fly tipping.

WTF!!

If you are going to confiscate vans sell them. Don't add them to the rubbish.

When is this stupid practice going to stop?

Caution, I am feral.

The problem is corruption. From what I understand cars that are confiscated through the driver having no insurance have been moved on because the driver has not sorted things and paid. In many cases where the vehicle is quite good there has been internal recipients in the transport firms and other involved individuals. This does mean cut price cars for them.

It's for flytipping that the vans are crushed. It's a standard procedure.
