Modern life is rubbish
One Saturday morning a month, recyclable material is being collected and sorted by Christians in a housing area near Guildford's town centre. This started with a few enthusiasts but increasingly local people are wanting to co-operate and do something positive for their environment.
We live in a culture of instant coffee, light at the flick of a switch and water from a tap. Everything comes in cartons, tins and packaging. Such a culture creates problems in the amount of waste produced. But what happens to the rubbish the dustmen take away? More often than not, it is stuck in a big hole in the ground and left to rot down. Out of sight, out of mind. Or is it? Some of this rubbish does not rot down, it stays in the ground for years.
