The environment sector may have been on its collective holidays during August – minimising its carbon footprint, we trust, and making sure that it consumed responsibly while it was away – but it still found time to read Isonomia. The first anniversary of our first faltering steps into the blogosphere passed in August, unremarked but not unremembered. We’ll make more of a fuss in November, a year on from when we really got up and running.
The most read author of the month was Chris Cullen, with his first solo piece for Isonomia. His proposal to untangle the mixed plastics market was a hit with LetsRecycle, who asked permission to use it as an opinion piece. He was closely trailed by, Cornish councillor Bert Biscoe, who came close to topping the monthly chart, with his very first appearance on the site, ruminating on how the decision to build its incinerator will cost Cornwall dearly. And it’s particularly good to see this month’s articles leading to more discussions getting going on the site – keep up the good work, readers…
Phillip Ward remains our most read man, keeping top spot with another informative piece on Defra’s travails in transposing the revised Waste Framework Directive into UK law, but there we have a new most read article. That honour is now held by Martin Steiner and Ulrich Weigel, whose Reimagining Greenhouse Gases has had a continual flow of readers over the months since we published it.
New pieces are on the way in September: expect to see an article from James Fulford on how collaborative procurement of waste services could save businesses money, and something from Adam Baddeley. We may also have some reminiscences from the front line of a local authority bin roll-out, and perhaps some thoughts on shale gas.
Do let us know if there are things that you’d like to see Isonomia discuss – or if you’d like to join our expert commentators in offering an informed but accessible viewpoint on any issue in the environment sector. Whether it’s waste or water, enforcement or emissions – whatever’s on your mind, get in touch. We’d be glad to hear from you, whether you’re from Shijiazhuang or Nottingham, Brussels or Bristol. Our goal is to create a space where thoughts on topics from across the environment sector can be expressed and explored, enabling communication and cross fertilisation of ideas – and you’re very welcome to join in.
It’s great to get more new e-mail and RSS subscribers this month – we hope you continue to enjoy our output, that you’ll feed back your views through the comments function, or perhaps even get involved as authors.
