History of Cycle Tracks: Translated abstracts from German researchers telling the story of how the National Socialist Regime of the 1930's/40's, and their post war successors, used cycle tracks for the explicit purpose of clearing cyclists out of the way and encouraging a switch to the mass use of private motor cars in German towns and cities. read full story / add a comment

Bank of Ireland have achieved their target to recycle 80% of all waste generated in their Head Office in Baggot Street. They began recycling waste in June 2003 and for the past 8 months they have recycled :- * 62 tonnes of cardboard - the equivalent of 992 trees. * 83.33 tonnes of paper. * Saved 1,720 cubic metres of landfill. They now plan to improve waste segregation at source to improve things further and cut the costs of recycling. There are NO under-desk rubbish bins in any of the three buildings; staff have no choice but to recycle all waste. Here's hoping other organisations follow suit. read full story / add a comment

Cycle Campaigners renew call for "cycle track network" plans to be scrapped as Dublin figures show 16% drop in cyclists. There is widespread concern among Irish cycling activists - that government "cycling policies" are primarily about facilitating motorists and promoting a switch to mass use of private motorcars. There is established historical precedent for such attempts in other countries. read full story / add a comment

The case centred around the ?polluter pays? principle and challenged the legality of the imposition of a set bin charge which did not take account of the volume of waste produced. read full story / add a comment

-There should be no exemptions from the tax for the large polluters. There have been proposals that the biggest polluters should be exempted from the tax in order to protect their economic position. This would lead to a greater burden on all other economic sectors and consumers. It would both be unfair and lead to higher emissions than would be achieved on a level playing pitch. -Poorer households must be compensated. Because poorer households spend a higher percentage of their income on energy than wealthier households, they must be compensated. This should be through changes to the social welfare and tax systems and investment in insulation and other energy efficiency measures. -Money raised should be used to fund a transfer to a low-carbon economy. A substantial part of the money raised should be used in a decarbonisation fund, to bring about a rapid change to a more energy-efficient, renewables-based economy. read full story / add a comment

The Liberties Recycling Plant in Basin Street, Dublin 8, is a model of community driven enterprise. As an example of sustainable business, it excels on many counts. It is a financially viable concern, recycles discarded clothes and textiles, and provides 15 employment positions for people who are trying to rehabilitate themselves from drug use. Yet the Irish Republic’s only textile recycling plant now faces closure - unless the authorities step in and help secure alternative premises. read full story / add a comment |
