I suppose the disinfectant/bin idea is best and then seal them in a plastic bag (which we're not supposed to use any more). Lighting a bonfire is an idea...
Isn't it difficult to get things right these days?
Here we all are trying to do our bit to save the planet and things just seem to cancel each other out.
There was an article in today's Mail about a woman scientist who has had no cooked food, heating, or even lightbulbs for 35 years. She shuns all motorised transport. She keeps her fridge just to store things in, uses her Le Creuset pans for weight training to keep fit. She doesn't use a washing machine or drive a car, or watch television, or take a bath or a hot shower, or turn on the central heating. The list goes on. She's only been in a vehicle twice since 1973, one in an ambulance when she broke her shoulder and the other in the hearse to her mother's funeral.
Apparently she's turned her whole life into an experiment. She had the gas taken out. The title of the article is "A Real Green Goddess" if you'd like to look at it online. She isn't married, because she says a husband might want three cooked meals a day and that wouldn't do at all. She says for washing she just uses her kettle, two tupperware jugs, a bowl and a scrubber. She says that "people wash and scrape too much off themselves. This is perfectly satisfactory."
Whilst it's a laudable experiment, it seems a pretty joyless existence to me. Is this really what we should all be doing?
