What Else Won't the Greens do for us?
Back in February, we reported on the new plans for 'eco-towns' in the UK, to make up part of the housing shortage. We suggested that it was unlikely that even the eco-town-planners would actually go as far as to replace the sewage system with water-free composting...
Do Environmentalists Want to Save the Planet or What?
