My parents are very helpfully recycling their old newspapers and making briquettes for me to use on my open fire during the winter. Basically you mush the newspapers down into a pulp by soaking them overnight in water and then you make the briquettes with a small metal press.
This, you would have thought would be exceedingly environmentally friendly - not so. Instead of letting the briquettes dry naturally outside during the summer months, my lovely parents are turning their heating on and drying them both on radiators and in the airing cupboard!
Hardly carbon neutral is it?!
