A digression from a recent post referred to vehicles with smoking exhaust. I have found the response I received from VOSA when I tried to report a van some years go. "Unfortunately, VOSA can only investigate reports of smoky exhausts for HGV's and PSV's. If a vehicle up to 3500kgs or a vehicle such as a car or taxi is causing a nuisance or pollution hazard, it would need to be reported to the local or district council. If you wish to report smokey HGV's or PSV's you can find the smokey vehicle report form on VOSA's website via the link below:- http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/forms/miscellaneousforms/miscellaneousforms.htm However, vehicle's should be kept in a roadworthy condition and meet legal requirements at all times in order to be driven on the public highway, so if you have concerns about the roadworthiness of a particular car, you may wish to report it to the appropriate Police department for your area, as they are the organisation responsible for investigating unroadworthy vehicles of this type. VOSA is concerned to receive reports relating to unroadworthy HGV's, PSV's, drivers hours, overloading and other road safety issues, but unfortunately we do not have the remit to investigate unroadworthy cars or taxis." VOSA is now part of the DVSA which will only respond to reports of smoky vehicles if they are HGVs or PSVs. -

The wood-burning Drax power station in Yorkshire provides 12 per cent of the UK’s renewable energy. It has already received £6 billion in green energy subsidies from the government. But are the wood pellets the power station burns really as sustainable as the company claims? Reporter Joe Crowley investigates where the wood comes from and uncovers an environmental scandal. He reveals how Drax is chopping down trees and taking logs from some of the world’s most precious forests. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001cw6z?at_campaign=64&at_medium=custom7&at_custom4=4BB1E1A2-4298-11ED-A04E-39F72052A482 -

Yesterday evening I released my herd of free-range cinnabar moth caterpillars into the wild, where they can feast on ragwort to their hearts’ content. I finally found a use for the charity bags that keep appearing through my letterbox – cut into strips for markers to try to stop council contractors from cutting the plants down. -
