Lucie’s talk will be looking at whether we understand recycling, looking at recycling in basic terms, questioning whether we know what goes in the bins, and whether changing our buying habits works better than recycling. ere is no set charge for this meeting, which will be on a “give what you can” basis. On 23rd November, 7pm, in the Hall behind Soul Cafe in Dibden Purlieu, Alistair McNaught will give a talk titled “What’s in our Water?”, exploring current water quality issues, local monitoring, pollution risks and discussing actions we can take to help protect the environment. Entry £5 (£1 for students and people on benefits), cash only please. Refreshments included. e proceeds, a er hall rental costs, will be used for the purchase of testing kits. Each test on each site costs between £10 and £14. Locally, Langdown stream has been reported to the Environment Agency following regular ndings, since testing started in May, of high levels of E. coli and we are in discussion with the local council with a view to placing warning notices along the stream. More volunteers have joined us and, as part of New Forest Water Watch, we are in regular contact with them to share information and learning across the New Forest. We hope to be able to cover every stream on the Waterside from Bartley Water southwards, apart from Mopley, which has given consistently good results. An interesting update on local air pollution issues comes from the University of Southampton, with an update on previous research from cruise ships which we covered a couple of years ago. e new research suggests that the pollution from cruise ships may be more harmful than that from road tra c. Compared with road tra c pollution, particles collected near the cruise terminals induced more in ammation in lung cells and reduced their ability to resist viruses. Southampton was the rst port to introduce large-scale shore power connections to allow vessels to shut o their engines at the berth. e connections are used by 15% of cruise ships. Again on a local level, an analysis from Ordnance Survey (OS) has found that Portsmouth is the UK city most vulnerable to heat change as a result of global warming both now and into the future. Concrete, asphalt, buildings and hard surfaces absorb solar radiation during the day and act like giant radiators. Cities can be up to 10% hotter than surrounding areas. Areas most at risk of extreme warming are those with the least tree cover, green space and waterways. A date for next year’s diaries, is 25th January, when Southern Water will be visiting to talk about the work they are doing to tackle water scarcity in Hampshire, along with storm overflows and water quality, by which time El Niño may well have le its mark.
