Freesheet fightback begins
Tuesday January 9, 2007

Sick of tripping over those unwanted copies of London Lite, the London Paper and Metro? Monkey offers you the chance to take your revenge... in a green way. Project Freesheet is asking Londoners to take pics of discarded freesheets and post them on its website. Around 1.5m free papers are produced every day apparently and many end up flapping around commuters' ankles. Project Freesheet founder Justin Canning says: "Tube Lines and Metro Link, who run the tubes, admit that they can only recycle around 10% of the 100-150 tonnes of rubbish that is left on the Underground. It's an issue of waste." Justin will use all the images he gets to make a collage, which will be posted online and displayed in a gallery. He's looking to get 1.5m pictures. So far he's got 85. As he says on the website: "We need another 1,499,915! keep them coming!". You've got to admire the man's optimism.
Big thanks to Tara Conlan @ Guardian Online
