Cars that should be scrapped, but are not

Megawelle reported last week that 1,000 unused cars were found on the streets of Arrecife last year. They should have been scrapped but were probably dumped there instead.

Perhaps this car that I spotted in Puerto del Carmen last year suffered the same fate?

The mayor of Arrecife now wants to warn residents against this practise, saying that it is detrimental to the image of the town.  I shall be interested to see on my next visit how successful he has been.

My Green Website

Good news for the environment: I have just read that my provider is promoting CO2-free websites!

To be precise, they have switched their server farm over to regenerative energy. The electricity that they use is being being powered by hydroelectric generators and should apparently save 15,000 tonnes of CO2 each year.
