Lewes FC Recycling Inertia. Sort It Now.
How can the ‘politically correct’ Lewes FC, specialists in liberal ethics, still justify plastic glass use for even one more game?
PLASTIC GLASS RECYCLING. WHY?
So why have so many clubs adopted an ethical plastic glass recycling scheme?
Because it is so easy to do. To not do so is totally irresponsible.
Enormous energy is used to make plastic glasses and recycling is a minefield of inefficiency with Lewes FC plastic glasses potentially sitting in Africa, the Middle and Far East with children sifting through them in enormous rat and disease infested landfills.

THE SOLUTION?
Adopted at lots of sporting venues, this morning I had a Covid jab at Brighton Racecourse, they do it. Last but one away game I went to was Eastbourne Town, they do it. The customer pays for a pint glass, made from recycled plastic or a composite with a long shelf life. £1 or £2. Then at the end of the game they return it and get their ‘deposit’ back. Other clubs sell the glass and you take it home and bring it back.
IS IT REALLY THAT SIMPLE?
Yes, a child could set it up.
SO WHY DO LEWES FC NOT DO IT?
Because Lewes FC are having an environmental impact study being done. As with everything, to justify the huge salaries to non-football staff lots of boxes have to be ticked. Cynics would say there is probably a publicity grab involved as well.
BUT YOU KNOW THE STUDY WILL RECOMMEND THE CHANGE TO RECYCLING?
Yes, every game we play at home means potentially harm to the environment and eco-system that can be stopped tomorrow with the purchase of 1000 recyclable plastic beakers. There is no excuse for a supposed ‘leader’ in liberal and ethical football club theory to drag their feet on this.
THE NEW CATERING PARTNERS ‘ONLY WITH LOVE’ WHY HAVE THEY DONE NOTHING?
Presumably because they do not value the environment very much. If they did they should of got involved with Lewes FC on the condition plastic glasses were shelved immediately. They could of told Lewes FC you do not need an environmental impact study to tell you recycling is a good thing.
A child knows that.
