I think we have someone at tomorrow's Glera meeting to talk about the listing and it's implications for Greening the estate.

This set me wondering what people understood by the term 'greening'.

I take it to be reducing carbon emissions, improving air quality, improving insulation, reducing food waste, cutting our own carbon use.

So green or brown roofs for our blocks to improve insulation, encourage biodiversity, prevent water run off and recycle rain water.

Plant things to encourage biodiversity, more growing of food, increased composting. Ensuring our estates waste is properly recycled.

What would you add?

I have plenty of green mould and spores growing inside my flat, and they are sprouting wings, what with the leaking roof, cold, damp and the condensation, so I think I am green enough, and the illusory canine and feline faecal matter that some residents seem to be knee deep in  would make great fertiliser for the grow-bags, but I suspect people  would have more success scouting for and bagging up the human excrement deposited in and around the basement after the weekend by local partiers. The estate staff have even put notices up in the basement pointing out to people who use the lift that despite appearances it s is actually not a toilet, and the smell human urine in the summer in the storage sheds in Hatfield House is pungent, and  the algae growing on the concrete in the basement makes it look very green.

Ha!ha!  Nathan.  Brilliant.  Love a good laugh, but the scary part is that there is truth in it!
