Andrew Sheppard Alan Beake Waterside Climate Action Network (WaterCAN) News from WaterCAN e rst open session of the autumn is Monday 21st September, 7pm, behind the Soul Café, in Dibden Purlieu, SO45 4PG. Environmental Scientist Dr Shaun Russell will be presenting “Food for ought”, looking at what we eat, how and where we grow our food, how it is transported, processed and packaged, and how much we waste, all of which a ect greenhouse gas emissions, which in turn lead to the current concerns about the impact of climate change on production and food insecurity. £2 entry, £1 refreshments. 19th October, 7pm, at Lucie’s Place, 153 Hampton Lane, Blackfield, SO45 1WE, Lucie Mann from New Forest Aquaponics, will be looking at “Recycling: What Does it Mean?” Lucie will be questioning whether we understand recycling and invites everyone to come and join in the discussion on what promises to be a lively evening. On Monday 23rd November, 7pm, venue TBC, Alistair Mc Naught, who is leading our water testing in partnership with New Forest Waterwatch, will be talking about water and feeding back on the results of our testing on local waterways. On the subject of water a recent comparison of water saving projects produced the interesting nding that whilst the UK population consumes around 140 litres of water per person per day, the equivalent gure in Belgium is 90 litres per person per day. Along with some other European countries the Belgians have been moving ahead with water recycling, reusing “grey” waste water for toilet ushing. Fewer leakages probably helps too. e next beach litter clean, led by Lee Attrill from Surfers Against Sewage, will be at Calshot on 10th October 10am, starting at the far end of the spit near the lifeboat station. In our last issue, we mentioned our search for a compressor to speed up our aluminium can recycling work The second hand compactor which is now drawing in cans from campsites across the New Forest. e good news is that we have managed to acquire a second hand machine which should make the crushing process far more e cient. If anyone would like to start collecting, we have large collecting boxes available. Interestingly, every can, can be recycled over and over again, forever! Further to the item in the last issue relating to the future of the Waterside Railway line, Waterside Cycling Action Group (WCAG) have started a petition to request a feasibility study into converting the line south of Marchwood into a walking, wheeling and cycling route, the Waterside Greenway.
