craftyhunnypie Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 DId anyone watch this last night? How gross was it! I don't think I could camp for 3 weeks on a rubbish dump could you? I'd be so worried about catching something, cutting myself and breathing in all that dust. It can't be healthy! They haven't even got special clothing - just rigger gloves. They don't wear face masks - it just can't be good for them! I do however, think it is good to see what they will make use of & recycle. It made us realise, that by me & hubby being hoarders, we are actually protecting the enviroment! I thought their shelter was terrible. I would have made a more solid construction, like a large chicken coop with a roof that sloped backwards. They did find loads of fence panels & paletts, but just used those for flooring!???? A good programme, but I'm not sure how safe it is - I'll ask my dad as he is a manager for a waste recycling company! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xChicken04x Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I watched it, i thought it was interesting but i dont think people want to watch it becuse they want to learn about recycling i think people watch it becasue its funny to see all these people stuck in a big land fill! I didnt think there shelter was very good either, cant see it lasting 3 weeks. It looked more like a very bad tent. I admire them for sticking to it (well most of them) and i was rather impressed with there shower, very clever! I couldnt do it! I wouldnt be able to cope with all the bird poo and magots! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 oooo they could have found a load of plastic cola bottles (some people don't think to separate their waste....& they could have built a large greenhouse. It would have been nice & warm! Or perhaps they could have found some polystyrene for a bit of insulation. I'd like to be given a load of ' clean junk' and be asked to make something from it, but I wouldn't like to be on the dump. I'm sure they could have found better things than a tarpaulin for a roof!!! I thought the scaffold poles were good but should have been used in a better way! Gosh I have been to Goa in India twice now & most of the shops there are shacks built from ' clean rubbish'. They are very colourful, imaginative and strong. Built from plastic coated drinks cartons, corrugated metel & plastic, beer crates, pallets etc etc. They are fabulous! Wonder what they will make tonight??? On every night in place of Big brother! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I read that as well Egluntine - Health and Safety issues meant they had to have clean rubbish deposited next to a main dump. They were fed so well that they put on weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I thought it was an interesting programme, if it makes a few people consider what they put in landfill then I guess it has served a purpose. Some of the characters though ! Off on a tangent (apologies) - there is a house around the corner from mine that does not recycle a thing. If I walk past on bin day they always have about 4 or 5 plastic sacks for collection (we have weekly collections) and as the bags are reasonably see-through I always notice cardboard packaging, cans, bottles etc mixed in with everything else. It takes no time at all to attempt even the most basic recycling. We have doorstep pickups of paper/card/bottles/cans etc grrrrrrrrr it drives me mad! Perhaps I'm being too critical - but I doubt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James H Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 no looney (sorry thats the only name for you i know at the moment! )your no being critical, they arnt even thinking aboutwhat they are throwing away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 It was quite an interesting programme yesterday, but what annoyed me was the fact that they kept moaning and saying they lived in c*@p and really that's they whole point of it. Yet they still can't see that they're partly to blame for it. Next year the local council are going to let us recycle card and plastic in the curb recycling boxes, which is really good as at the minute you have to drive all the way to the tip, which kind of defeats the object. Plus it should mean Wheelie bins will be less full too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I saw both episodes last night & really enjoyed the show.I found it very thought provoking. The Hubby liked it too.He is one of those amazingly practical people who can make anything & he kept saying,they should have done this............. I love Aaron,the camp red headed guy, but how nutty was the woman who just wanted to make an art intsillation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Is that the one that sounds American & is into meditation??? She is a wierdo & very annoying! Haven't seen last nights yet - will watch it later. What did they have to make last night??? Did they make a better shelter? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too airy fairy for me No better shelter,& they had to make a toilet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 but how nutty was the woman who just wanted to make an art intsillation? Very, and surely a solar shower is more important than an art instillation that no one but them will truly appreciate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I'm being too critical - but I doubt it id ring the council and tell them about these people! or id post them a letter [ through royal mail not by hand they could be evil] and leave it annoymous. i think they should bring fines in for people who dont recyle.
