The recycling aspect of the councils plan for Wrexham in Bloom, is to encourage the people of Wrexham to recycle their batteries. Batteries are a dangerous waste issue, because of the acid inside them.
Why bother recycling batteries? Reference; Waste online 2005.
The other idea Wrexham Council had for the 'In Bloom' competition this year was to attract bees back to Wrexham and along the Heritage walk around the town. Their plan is to produce plant pots, filled with flowers which bees are highly attracted to and place them around the heritage site.

The part of the brief which really sparked my interest was the 'bees' section. I am very interested in environmental issues, and do try to be a 'greener' person. I am a member of Green Peace, and read many other blogs by environmental activist groups/individuals.
So the idea of having the opportunity to finally, take a more active part in a serious environmental issue meant a lot to me.
