GB News: British couple in Spain won't receive ANY compensation after their £1.3m home they've owned for over a decade is set to be demolished
A British couple, Lee and Georgie Pendleton, face the demolition of their £1.3 million home in Majorca, deemed illegal by Spanish authorities. Despite owning the property for 16 years, they will receive no compensation, and the demolition order is being executed after years of threats.
The couple's situation is part of a larger planning scandal in Spain, linked to illegal applications made by a former mayor. They attempted to negotiate with local authorities to resolve the issue but were rejected. The Pendletons are now left to salvage their belongings as their property is set to be razed.
Le Monde: What's the carbon footprint of a Christmas tree?
The carbon impact of Christmas trees is minimal compared to the overall emissions from holiday festivities, with trees accounting for only 1% of the carbon footprint. Natural trees have a lower impact than plastic ones when used for 20 years, and local sourcing can further reduce emissions.
To minimize the carbon footprint, it's recommended to choose local trees, recycle them properly, or consider reusable options. The primary sources of emissions during the holidays are gifts, transportation, and food, with gifts alone responsible for 52% of holiday-related emissions.
