Can Crushing Cycle @ Stirling Road
I didn't see this or go to Stirling Road but having been to the Blues & Jazz Festivals and a Comedy Night in Ealing this particular year there was definitely a place for this bike.Now that the food stalls all seem to be able to use compostable paper and wood plates and utensils and the drinks are served in reusable plastic cups and aluminium cans we have moved a long way forward towards sustainability. However the separation of waste leaves a lot to be desired. Being able to see aluminium cans crushed and reduced in volume and learning more about this endlessly reusable packaging might have encouraged festival goers to not mix and then put everything into the same unmarked bin. What we saw was everything including food waste all mixed together. Bins need to be very clearly marked on all sides to make it extremely obvious what was to go in them from a distance before trying to make your way towards a bin! Food waste mixed with everything in an open bin is not at all pleasant.
