fabes Posted October 15, 2018 Share If you care that much about the environment and biorecyling then you would obviously have your own compost heap at home so your statement is mute.Ok So everyone without a compost heap at home may not have an opinion on this matter.

Escapee.. Posted October 15, 2018 Share Even over here where we get free government issued biowaste bags that go into dedicated biowaste collectors that are collected by the municipality to turn into biogas and fertiliser there are rumours that a fair amount just gets burnt along with regular trash.

jimmycool Posted October 15, 2018 Share Is it ok to throw a banana peel under the next banana tree you ride past? Especially in kzn, they are all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odinson Posted October 15, 2018 Share Avos aren't vegan because they use forced migration of bees.... Avocados are plants. Thus, vegan. Do producers sometimes use bees for pollination? Yes. Does such migration have a negative impact on bee colonies? That can be the case sometimes. However, not all avocado plantations are pollinated in this way. Further, research conducted in Mexico (the largest avo producing country) has shown bees are not the only pollinators of avocado trees: In a cultivated avocado orchard in southern Mexico we found that three major insect groups were attracted in significant numbers to flowers, namely non-native bees (A. mellifera) and flies (C. megacephala) and native wasps (B. mellifica). Similar values were found for the pollinator performance of both, honey bees and flies; but wasps were less important for avocado pollination on this particular site, possible a result of their lower numbers. ... Regardless these differences, the indices of pollen deposition (PD) on virgin stigmas were similar for all three taxa. Yet when the values of PD were combined with FC, it was evident that the honey bees and flies were equally important for avocado pollination and more important compared with wasps. Nevertheless, when considered together, flies and wasps could have had a wider FC and overall importance compared with the honey bees. Such a combined effect of flies and wasps is relevant if and when honey bees are attracted to nearby blossoms other than avocado. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/292712387_The_contribution_of_honey_bees_flies_and_wasps_to_avocado_Persea_americana_pollination_in_southern_Mexico Don't use Facebook videos of a British TV show as a source of facts.
