TRANSLATION:Half the rubbish from Cornwall's homes could have been recycled or disposed of as food waste, a recent study has shown. According to Cornwall Council, recycling has increased in the county by about 20% since weekly food waste and fortnightly recycling and rubbish collections were introduced across the county in 2024. But recent analysis of rubbish from 500 homes across Cornwall found many were still putting items like food, batteries, vapes, paper and glass in the bin.Councillor Loic Rich,cabinet member for Environment and Climate Change at Cornwall Council, said people in the county were recycling "more than ever" but that there was "more work to be done".Cornwall Council is now urging everyone to think twice before putting things in the bin.

TRANSLATION: It has been a summer of record-breaking temperatures, heatwaves, drought and hosepipe bans, which has left many farmers and growers struggling but one grower near St Columb,who manages a small-scale market garden, has been relatively unaffected by the drought. Conor Kendrew has set up an irrigation system that uses a spring, a pond and any collected rain water and because the site is 0.5 acres, sprinklers can cover a large part of the crop. Kendrew said prepping the ground for drought resilience was the single most important thing to do.He said,"like everyone, I am shocked at recent weather but, like an engineer, you would sort of over design your system for this sort of thing."

TRANSLATION:Fundraising is under way to bring a collection of medals belonging to a man who led a famous raid in WW2 from London to Cornwall.Lt Cdr Stephen Beattie left Falmouth with more than 600 men in March 1942 to undertake the St Nazaire Raid, also known as Operation Chariot.The "incredibly dangerous" operation prevented the German pocket battleship Tirpitz from entering Atlantic Ocean shipping lanes and disrupting the convoy system sustaining Britain's war effort.Jonathan Griffin,a volunteer at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, said Beattie drove his ship head on into a dock gate - packed with nearly five tonnes of explosives, directly into a dock gate. He added that the mission was essentially one of suicide, it achieved its main objective, but at the cost of many lives.The family has given permission for Beattie's medals to be moved from the Imperial War Museum in London. If the fundraising target is achieved, they are due to go on display in March next year.
