From today's Telegraph, adding more momentum to the switch to recyclable & biodegradeable alternatives to plastic/polythene.:-

"Tanzania to ban all plastic bags
By Mike Pflanz
(Filed: 04/04/2006)
Importing, selling or using plastic bags and drinks containers is to be outlawed in Tanzania in a move aimed at curbing environmental damage.
Manufacturers and retailers have six months to phase out the harmful polythene - which takes up to 1,000 years to degrade - and switch to recyclable materials or biodegradable alternatives.

The announcement, from Tanzania's vice-president, Ali Mohamed Shein, marks the first time an African country has banned all plastic bags outright.

South Africa introduced laws in May 2003 forcing shopkeepers to hand out thicker, stronger plastic bags that are more easily re-used or face an 8,000 fine or 10 years in jail.

The country's environmental authorities estimated that eight billion bags a year were being used, most of which were thrown out and ended up clogging drains and choking wildlife.

"The ban of plastic bags and containers is necessary to protect Tanzania's rapidly degrading environment," Mr Shein said.

From modern hypermarkets to tiny wooden-hut market stalls, shopkeepers across Africa are rarely shy about packaging everything in one or more thin plastic bags which regularly rip within minutes.

A recent survey found that the 1.5 million residents of Kampala, Uganda's capital, threw away 10,000 tons of bags each year. Like most African cities, neither Kampala nor Nairobi has widespread rubbish collection."

Bring it on!!

SEO should JV the manufacturing process with central/local government bodies or enterprise boards in all countries so that their capital resources are not overstretched and they allow a decent level of added-value to take place in each country. They will still provide the raw materials and IP, but let the local economy profit from making the finished articles. In less developed countries, there may well be aid programmes that will contribute to the capital cost of such an environmentsally sound employment opportunity.

Can the oil-extracted husks of the jatropha bean be used to prodice PLA by any chance - now there would be an interesting bit of sustainable co-operation with DOO.

Wal-Mart Sustainability Chief Participates in Senate Climate Conference

Today Andrew Ruben, Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) vice president stated...A few steps the company is taking include:


Elimination of 25 percent of the solid waste from U.S. stores in the next three years, with the corporate goal of producing zero waste.
Ruben also made it clear that he expects the company's environmental stewardship will prove beneficial to its bottom line and the consumer. "We believe that this is good business".
END OF EXTRACT

As we all know Greanseal cuts the amount of waste, re packaged food that is thrown away. Also Starpol being environmentally friendly.

I am sure we have all noticed that over the last few months Walmart are on a consumer friendly publicity role.

As they say every little helps ( Asda ).

Every little helps (Tesco).
Are we in there too???? ;-)
Alan

Alan,

Have you seen the news that SAINSBURY'S has regained its crown as Britain's second-biggest supermarket chain, having overtaken rival Asda, according to market research group ACNielsen.
Asda will not like that. They will have to pull out all the stops.
Now when the exclusivity deal re Greanseal finishes, will Sainsbury be on the must have list.
( Your right of course, 'Every liitle helps' was from the Tesco ad and not Asda's.

Wasn't Sainsbury SEO's original trial partner?

Soup.
That was it. Packet soup where the packet was part of the soup.
Don't know what happened to it.
Alan

Hmm perhaps that side of the business has been dissolved!
kim

Don't start the jokes, Kim. You will incur the broth, sorry wrath, of other posters.

:-)

You are right Alan, don't want to be in the soup over this.

How many of those traders selling today understand the new 30 day rule?? Not many I suspect, as they must be assuming there will be no news for over 30 days from now. Wouldn't it have been wiser to sell these shares 30 days ago and buy back on the 6th???

Biscuit, thats what the wiser ones will have done :)

March has been a downtrend month, so now April should see an uptrend as they buy back in, in staggered format, of course if they want to buy back that is, and why not.....

BL, Who is stirring the soup?


Bi, it depends on the size of holdings but I believe they can be legitimately re bought in an ISA within seven days.

Sitting on my hands trying to stop myself acting on my stop loss of 13.75p. Just feel I need to give it till the new tax year starts tomorrow and think the probability we'll get out of this little dip is greater than the probability we'll fall further IMHO.

For anyone who cares to respond, I'm not looking for an argument!

sd

To me that sounds the right thing to do. I am sure that within two or three weeks there will be some good news that will drive the sp up from here.

Somebody on another board has just lost patience with SEO and bailed out with s 40K loss. Ouch!!

I really do believe that he will kick himself when the news comes.

The oily one

sd I assume you don't see the dropbelow the support level of recent weeks is significant given that its all with a wimper, like a naughty puppy. Caught with a margin call but off-loaded a few ASOS rather than SEO on the assumption that its primarily end of tax year stuff. After all, WalMart see SEO as a significant supporter of their green policies. Its 12 months since the ASDA agreement was announced and only 2 machines still in final stages of commissioning; nevertheless we know SEO somewhat better now and the big question is when rather than if.

Eric

You could liken bailing out with a 40k loss at this stage, with leaving the cinema just before the end of a really good film, what a bloody silly thing to do!

That analogy reminds of when I was flying back to London from Katmandu, after a trek up above the Everrest base camp, on Pakistan International Airways. They showed "Gone With the Wind"; started about 90 minutes after dinner. Many of us were dog tired as the flight was delayed several hours during a stop in Karachi. With eyes looking like piss holes in the snow from tiredness and strain, they turned the flim off just a couple of minutes before the famous words "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn" were uttered and they served breakfast. They never showed the end!

Talk about all foreplay and no satisfaction!

The oily one

PS Sorry its off message

Oily
I hope that, at the very least, the breakfasts came in Greensealed containers! Have to say I am a tad jealous - a trek up above the Everest base camp, not bad! I had a back operation some years ago and was told I would not be able to walk far again; I was determined I would and have made it my ambition to walk up Snowdon (the only mountain in the range that I have never been up) I have yet to accomplish this, but I will. Everest though, unfortunately not!
