RE-USE OF WASTE,I CAN? CAN YOU?

[john]

Hi ALL what a great day it was meeting so many people who had gathered together under one roof to talk about things that went on in their Communities, which they all wanted to share with other Communities. There was at least 30 different groups of people all having a great time talking to each other, and enjoying each other company in a atmusphere of taking part in something new, which I'm please to say that I took part in as well, as just an ordinary member of the public who had something to add to the days newness.
We had a surprise visit from our Mayor of Greenwich Steve Offord who was very impressed with what was going on, and he took the time to stop and talk to most of the people who were there, and we had the local press visited too, who I'm pleased to say found like lots of other people said that my presentation of growing things was of interest to them too..
There were so many people who said that they would help me to spread the word after seeing with their own eyes, what I had grown, and the way I grow things in such a very simple way they felt that they must get involved, I'm now pleased to say that I've now been invited to go to other Communites where they are starting up their own Community gardens projects, and they want me to help them to set up my system of growing things in waste plastic containers so that the young and old can grow things in a fun way for next to nothing, in their gardens or Communities. On the day from about 9am until about 3pm I don't think I stopped talking to people who are doing their own bit in their own way, just like our own C.T.R.A. members who took part in providing some music along with some bingo when the break periods were called, and they showed films and talked to others about what they did on our Coldharbour Estate too, ending up with a invite to do the same thing on another estate in the future.
All in all I would recommend to any community group try and the same thing no matter where they live.
For more info on how to get things sorted out why not contact Mr Lee Christie, at Lee.Christie@greenwich.gov.uk I'm sure it won't be a waste of your time. Thank you.
May you and yours and what you grow live long and happy John. J.R.P. (recycling)

Hi ALL, they say it's good to talk, and I can prove it. On saturday the 24-1-2009 I spoke to our Greenwich waste service team, who were at our new Community meeting held in St Peters Church Woolwich SE18. With an end result being today the 26-1-2009 we had our small Black Top Wheelie Bins delivered to those who had filled in the form for one last year. Which was the main reason I spoke to the lady about, as I was told that they were on order, but she said she could not say when we would get them. I did say to her that I had already contacted the head of waste services, and he said the same thing, but to day after talking to her on saturday I got a suprise, our Coldharbour estate Community SE9 in Greenwich got their small ones, with the larger ones to follow soon.
OK we have got to find a space for them, but doing away with seeing so many black plastic sacks or bags all over the place ripped apart by foxes or rats or cats must be a good thing at the end of the day. That's why I said it's good to talk if I helped speed things up, if I didn't then at least I had my say about trying to do my bit for the environment on behalf of others.. May you and yours and what you grow live long and happy. John. J.R.P. (recycling)

Hi ALL, for those who may be interested in the way I grow things, I could be on SKY 2 as they are showing the programme Secret Life of Suburbia again at 4-30am on most days, my topic was ( Gardening ). I'm also hoping to be in our local News paper too, along with others after having our first big Community meeting held on the 24-1-2009.
If there are any photos of the day I will try and put them on my website now I've got some more room to put things on. I was going to contact Hugh Fearnley - Whittingstall after watching his programme all about chickens, because it also did say that he was looking for people with different ways of growing things for his next programme in the spring, but I can't find his e-mail address to ask him if mine was any good or not for him to show. There is a website but at this moment you can only post comments on it. Today the 1-2-2009 they forecast SNOW and at 5-30pm we got it, where are the gritters didn't anyone tell them because there's not a lot moving and it's still falling while I'm writing.
Lets hope it will stop soon otherwise the country will come to a standstill even though we knew the snow was coming, puting prices up again whether we like or not, if it don't.
May you and yours and what you grow live long and happy. John. J.R.P.

Hi ALL, I thought I let you know I was in the Greenwich Times dated the 10-2-2009 issue 37 page 7, and I've also been involved in another Community gardening project, which is in Abbeywood and it is supported by our Greenwich Council, and is run by the local Community Neighburhood Pride Team of helpers. If you visit my website JRP recycling I've put some photos on it about lots of things and some info too, just click on down my menu and you will come across my new Neighburhood Pride project 4, for example in Abbeywood which is on going.
Plus we now have our very own Coldharbour allotment website, run by our young allotment plot site representative phil, and his wife Dee. if you too wanted to start up your very own allotment plot site, website like us, we could maybe talk to each other about things, why not visit ours if it helps, it's coldharbourallotment.myfastforum.org as it's new and has just started with me putting my the first posting on it to do with helping to reducing some of our waste going to lanfill sites.

Hi ALL again, I was only in the Greenwich Times again on the 24-2-2009 all thanks to a lady who I met called Jakki Gillett, who thought my growing system was worth writing to them about, as she had tried it out and it had worked for her. So she thought she would take the time to help spread the word, in doing so she only won the STAR LETTER on page 4 issue number 39, which I've put a copy of on my website as a press cutting to say thank you, which I will do again if someone else does the same thing. If only there were more people like Jakki who would help to spread the word, I would be a very happy man.
May you and yours and what you grow live long and happy. John. J.R.P.

Hi ALL. Mother Nature Needs our HELP.
If you are a Gardener or a Recycler you might find my idea of Reusing PLANTs again instead of putting them into composters or a bin of interest to you..
For example our Parks and Open Spaces Gardeners will be pulling out Pansies and Polyanthus all over the place to put other plants in because they have finished flowering because of mainly not having their dead heads removed to encourage more groth like we would do in our own gardens.
What I would like to see happen is to save them if we can. WHY. To mainly help keep down the cost of our Councils spending our money over and over again each year on plants which they could reuse over and over again in some way with money being so short now. Or why not let any gardener have them for FREE I think would be a good idea too, it's just a thought because when I bought my Pansies and Polyanthus and Dianthus plants last year from B&Q they were reduced because they were duying in their trays but now they are still alive with a bit of T.L.C. by working together we can make a big difference.
May you and yours and what you grow live long and happy. John.J.R.P.
