What could be better than an ice cold drink after cycling through the coastal area of Pembroke on a hot summer’s day? FRIDGEFREEZERS? Not a welcome sight! These together with the remains of a twin tub washing machine were observed strewn by the wayside. Pembroke boasts of a large area of garigue known for its ecological importance. Fortunately, R- 12 used as a modern refrigerant appears not to concentrate in soil or water as it is very volatile, however such refuse is extremely unsightly. Special thanks go to the local council who took care of removing these eye sores.
