LEN News - Christmas Tree Shredding
The shredding of Christmas trees at Longworth School on 9th January was a great success. Some 25 trees were brought by sled, wheelbarrow or shanks pony - amongst other things, the current questionnaire (being distributed this month) may indicate how many use artificial trees or none at all. Rather than make a massive pile for a photograph, many children saw theirs turned into chippings as they watched and their parents enjoyed mulled wine. The snow added atmosphere, if not colour or warmth - see photo. All chippings are now on the allotments for use by all when composted in 12 to 18 months time. When combined with the same amount of "greens", they should become 1500 litres of compost (Ericaceous "acid" type) which is good for blueberries, raspberries, rhododendrons, azaleas, etc. - especially useful in Longworth soil.

The film "Home", shown on 15th January, displayed in glorious photography many of the ravages being committed on our planetary resources - forests, fish, minerals, soil, oil, climate and land (accommodating rubbish). It also contrasted how many of these actions increase the load that goes on the poor against the wealth that is given to the rich. Fortunately it ended with examples where some (often the poorest) nations are putting some resource matters to rights.
