When I was a kid we seem to recycle more without knowing it !
Milk bottles, pop drinks getting 6p on the return.
Me and the mrs were only just saying the other day, what happened to supermarkets selling loose bunches of grapes that you put into your own paper bag? I remember as a kid in the 90s, before anyone really gave a shit about recycling, that was the standard thing, and now it's all plastic tubs and non-recyclable film.Did some shopping yesterday, bananas, apples and avocados were all sold in plastic bags. It's wrong on so many levels.
They will have worked out that using plastic packaging will save them 1 pence per unit. Fuck peoples health and the environment, its all about the money.Me and the mrs were only just saying the other day, what happened to supermarkets selling loose bunches of grapes that you put into your own paper bag?

Therein lies the problem.People want to be bothered but 99% of people would refuse to do anything about it if it affects them, ie not buy it. Fuel is the same, too expensive? Don’t buy it for 2/3 days, it’ll plummet in price, but we never will.
Plastic bottles, don’t buy them - but then you won’t get your water/have to pay more. No chance
We use those ice brick thingys, reusable for years.Bought some bottles of water yesterday to freeze and then use in coolers to keep food and drinks cold. Last ten times longer than ice and costs less.
Can also use as a weapon if attacked by a bear.
