Save the rhino: wear a condom
A few weeks ago a crocodile wandered into a village pond on the edge of Koshi Tappu national park in Eastern Nepal. Strapping on my cork hat and lasso, I went to investigate. The croc did not oblige me with an appearance but the villagers assured me that it had already made a meal of two young goats and the pond was, for the time being, useless for watering livestock.

A burning issue: energy from waste
Our party entered the last general election with a short-term fix on the question of energy from waste (EfW). We cannot go into the next general election still saying that we need to do more research when evidence is there. The truth is, we are divided. There are those who see this as a good local NIMBY campaign and there are those who see incineration simply as a matter of waste policy. But some of us see this technology as part of a sustainable resource policy.
