Go on, tell me more

They dreamt up a scheme in Amsterdam a few years ago, whereby white bicycles were provided for free. After you'd finished your ride you'd leave the bike in the street for someone else to use. Unfortunately this brilliant plan for recycling bikes flopped for two reasons. One, criminals exist. And two, coloured paint exists.

A better version might be to ask people to recycle their books. Give them to a charity shop, your local library or just leave them lying on a park bench.

    Just because I'm not reading them...

    ...doesn't mean someone else won't love them. Every few months I go through my bookshelves (around 1200 books live with me currently) and cull out ones I'm not going to read, haven't touched in years, etc. They go to the used book stores - those that don't get accept there after a few rounds go to my local library. 03 December 2009, 12:43
