UKIP hates the Landfill Tax - but do they know what good it does?

UKIP welcomes web-visitors to their site with the news that "Polar bears are just fine and dandy" so it comes as no surprise that their opinions are equally planet-unfriendly when it comes to landfill tax. Thay want to
scrap it and get the money back.

Up to now our casual approach to throwing things away, has been based on the false idea that there is an away to throw things. But across our entire earth, any living thing's away is some other living thing's here. And most of the away-waste that humans produce is harmful both to other living things and us.

So this is why we need a landfill tax that discourages the away-mentality. And who can quibble when the tax money is actually used for activities that help combat CO2?

Last Wednesday I had a great morning helping the BTCV crew at Sandford Millenium Park plant fence-poles and trees and improve the local environment. And the BTCV work is helped by having landfill tax money to pay for it. Everything was to everyones' benefit.

What is it that UKIP just can't seem to grasp?

I'm back with BTCV on the 19th March. If you'd like to be there go to BTCV Volunteers
