The recession has hit us all. The global spectrum as we know it is starting to fall beneath us but doesnt mean that everything has to come to a halt. The car industry has recently been in the news with job losses and less production of cars, due to new car sales plummeting. But other things like interest rates being cut and that are affecting us, but this is good for the environment right?
Well, with the reduction in production going on, this means there is a lot less waste, and with less waste, more of Britain's green grass is saved from the dreaded Landfill Monster that people have the mishap of seeing if they live near one. Recycling has become a big thing nowadays so new products can be formed from old and this is good as less is ruining the environment and people will be generally happy.
But recently at the end of the last year, there was a news report within my area talking about how recyclable waste is being stored in warehouses as it cannot be recycled fast enough. This got me thinking about how much waste we produce and how big the resources are, surely we can cope?
So during these hard times, there are pros and cons to the depression, but with regards to the environment, it seems good for it, with the waste industry being good on the recycling and keeping new things coming and old being transformed and less waste being produced in the first place.

Surly you would think that the current situation people would be more environmentally friendly with the cost of gas, electric and petrol rapidly rising. As my other half doesn't pay the gas and electric bills it doesn't seem to bother him that the house is like Blackpool illuminations!!
nice blog but you have only talked about people producing less waste. you could have considered tings like the reduction in oil that we are using, which means we are buring less, which is good for the environment, as less co2 is produced. and as there is less demand for it, the prices have decreased which is good for motorists. you could have also maybe mentioned high unemployment
How do you think this current economic climate will impact on our economy in the future? Will lending be curved by irresponsible bankers?
With regards to waste, will people not be buying less now due to decreases in disposable incomes?
