Not Enough Good News On the Environment - Professo
January 8th 2008, Recyclet Ltd had the pleasure of welcoming the widely controversial Prof. David Bellamy OBE, who was keen to discuss our ability to recycle plasterboard and gypsum based wastes. Prof. Bellamy first came to public prominence as an environmental consultant at the time of the 1967 Torrey Canyon disaster. He has written and presented some 400 television programmes on botany, ecology, and environmental issues. Bellamy is the originator, along with David Shreeve and the Conservation Foundation (which he also founded), of the Ford European Conservation Awards and has published over 80 scientific papers and many books. In 1983, he was jailed for blockading the Australian Franklin River in protest at a proposed dam. On 18 August 1984, he leapt from the pier at St. Abbs Harbour and splashed into the North Sea. In the process, he officially opened Britain's first Voluntary Marine Reserve, the St. Abbs and Eyemouth Voluntary Marine Reserve. In 1997, he stood unsuccessfully against the incumbent Prime Minister John Major for the anti-European Union Referendum Party. Bellamy credits this campaign with the decline in his career as a popular celebrity and television personality, saying in 2002: "In some ways it was probably the most stupid thing I ever did because I'm sure that if I have been banned from television, that's why. I used to be on Blue Peter and all those things, regularly, and it all, *******, stopped." Recyclet's work was indeed a good news story for him to reflect on, with supporting words on our outlook and markets. Furthermore, he stated that "..there is not enough good news on the environment. You need to shout louder!" Recyclet were marketing their recycled plasterboard material in preparation for it to become a product under the new Quality Protocol, being established with WRAP & the Environment Agency
