Selfish people

What about all the millions of barrels of nuclear waste even the “experts” don’t know what to do with it?

What will it be like 40 or 50 years on and what about the people living on this fragile earth then, what sort of legacy do we leave for them? What will they have to thank us for?

A lot of rubbish is talked about windmills. My cousin was a shepherd on the hills near Ulverston.

In all the time he worked there – nine years – he never found one dead bird around the windmills. The birds nested beneath them, the sheep grazed beneath them. On our visits to see my cousin, we picnicked beneath them. They are not noisy.

Already we are running out of landfill space for household rubbish. Now we have nuclear waste piling up by the ton.

Isn’t it time we woke up?
