Dear Allan,
It seems if you are big business or the military, waste disposal and straight out waste generation are no problem.

However for the rest of us with a conscience, dealing with waste and green building issues are very much an opportunity that the bureaucrats seem intent on stopping. I wonder why that might be???

Could it be that the money tied up in traditional building methods is so great that alternatives are not to be tolerated?? Heavens forbid, if people could actually build their own homes at a small fraction of the cost necessitated by the current regulations.

If people did that surely we would end up with chaos and great swathes of unemployed bureaucrats???

I am not implying that I favour a return to the dark ages, yet I sure would like to see more time spent looking for alternatives to the status quo, and I think there is only one way to do this and that is for individuals to challenge the powers that be!!

Good luck, and remember when Governments start saying you can't do this or that, that they are the same people coating their bullets and bombs with spent uranium and killing their own soldiers and innocents with the lingering death of uranium poisoning.. Merde what is the world coming to??

Robert

Dear Friends -

This topic is sort of a bring down, but since it appeas that Loudon
Co, Virginia, USA has zoning restrictions on all of the above items,
I wanted to find out if anyone on this list has found workarounds for
zoning restrictions on green building or waste handling in the US.

Thanks
