Title: Carbon footprint of wc
Post by: Paul_Rolfe on October 03, 2009, 07:41:39 am

How much of a footprint do you leave when you buy a carbon fibre pole?

Is it much? What happens when the pole wears out and you put it in lanfill - does it affect the soil?

don't just dump your poles recycle them,  for instance a pole hammered into your garden with a pice of string and a tennis ball tied to it makes a great swing ball  ;D

Put some coloured glitter in your carbon fibre pole, seal each end with cling-film secured firmly in place with an elastic band.

Hey Presto!

Your own first home-made kaleidoscope.

None, zero I either drive to pick them up or get DHL to deliver to me

Don't know and don't really care.
A handfull of window cleaners using a carbon pole is such a millionanth of one percent of the damage countries like and the size of China, Russia, Brazil etc cause, that until they sort themselves out, me, you and the rest of Britain isn't going to make one iota of a difference.
Yes these tree hugging people do seriously wind me up. >:(
