a future alternative to landfill?

space, the final frontier?

well perhaps not, maybe one day it could become useful to us humans. Once we have finally stuffed the earth full of discarded packaging perhaps we should invent a rocket (or maybe use bransons) to fire up through the atmosphere (packed with rubbish). then we have 2 options - let it float through space for eternity or direct it back towards earth so it can burn up in the atmosphere.

yes financially it'll be expensive, but in terms of protecting the earth/soil and everything on it will it turn out to be socially expensive?

now that you've read this see this link below:

vroom- to silverstone for the 2011 Grand prix, 3g iOS5 and more

soon ill be heading over the water and back again to see this years f1 at silverstone. i may post updates, photos after the event. i say after because its better to savour the atmosphere while your there rather than spend your time fiddling with "gadgets."

speaking of which, with iOS5 for the iphone coming out soon, its a pity it wont be available on the 3g. There's nothing wrong with the 3g, sure it may be a bit slower but do you really need a phone that gets no signal (iphone 4) or a digital compass (3gs). I think in the interests of equality and human rights quite possibly that the 3g should be included in the update...otherwise i shall be writing to them to refund some of the tens of pounds i have spent on the phone. i shall let you know how i get on

and finally, - space, the final frontier? http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/K8keFTySkFpMz5HNlE4OVQ--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk...

just a thought maybe if every country worked together we could actually use the 'international space centre' and explore more of space.. is it a waste of money? no - everything about space is interesting, W5 springs to mind - who, what, where, when and especially why?

for the first time ever more people live in cities than rural areas

this presents challenges to both cities - how do we provide a decent standard of living for those in cities - housing, transport, clean air, work, recreation...but also in rural areas - how do we provide services to a declining population?

the furture state of our cities?

now that our cities are being filled to the brim, and pressure on the green belt ever increasing.. how we manage the space and spaces in between is becoming the most important factor in planning today. *my words, not anyone else* This video, produced in 2009 aims to show what LA would be like if cars were banned from downtown. Ok ok the source (treehugger) doesn't inspire too much hope and im not anti-car by any means btw but perhaps we should be looking to understand the needs of vehicles within the urban context a lot more.
