Building on a brownfield site in a city obviously has less of an environmental impact on the eco system than building on farmland/greenbelt.0 -

Hardly an ecological choice to import food that we are more than capable of producing ourselves. The rise in the cost of food stuffs compounded by the rise in transportation costs.0 -

Am I the only person who thinks that windmills (the new kind that generate power) are actually kind of attractive/beautiful? They have a lovely aspect. you see them all over in France and people actually like them.

NIMBY's complaining about 25 thousand houses are rank amateurs compared to the ones round here. This weeks local paper has 3 NIMBY stories - one about a Vodafone mast (fair enough some people don't feel safe with them so I have slightly more sympathy here), one about BT having installed a green broadband cabinet on their street for new superfast broadband - they don't want one in their street!, and finally one about a garden wall which has been built in stone with more of a red/orange tinge than they would like, and has gravel parking area rather than block paved! In the second two cases I would personally be ashamed to be seen making such petty objections.Adventure before Dementia!0
