My water at home has all kinds of things in it and stinks to high heaven of chlorine ,no filtering that lot out , it is also very hard water. I use bottled water for drinking and recycle all of the bottles every two weeks

Do you wanna but some Manc water? Give us your bank details and I'll buy a long hose pipe ;)
 
I’ve totally given up on the whole “we must do more to protect the environment”. Don’t get me wrong, I still recycle, reuse, but going the extra mile to make small changes to my life, whilst countries, industrial corporations continue to churn out waste without a moment though, and allowed to get away with it is completely beyond me.

Take the Super Bowl in Vegas last month. I saw an animation of all the “rich and famous” flying out of vegas after the end of the game and the amount of flights that departed to places with the western states was a disgrace. Hundreds of flights flying from vegas to LA (350 miles) and I guarantee 80% of them could have been not required of people shared a flight.

Yet here we are made to drink through a cardboard straw to “protect the environment”

Give over

I totally agree but its not just the US. What tat will be left on the Wembley seats next week? A plastic flag on a plastic pole which ten minutes after we've left the stadium is heading to landfill.
 
For me,the straw that broke the camels back was kitkats doing away with the foil and paper wrappers and going full on plastic. Oh the days of excitedly ripping the paper off, then sliding your nail down the fingers and denting the foil so it was easier to break off, then the smell of that tasty morsel wafted up your expectant nostrils, then snap! You broke off the first finger and unwrapped the shiny inviting foil. The actual eating the thing was a right anti climax tbh.

Jublees used to come in paper too, now all manufacturers wrap everything in plastic. Not to mention popping a fresh jar of coffee with the foil as tight at a drum, it's all baggy now.

That coffee smash is another little thing I liked. But I stopped drinking it years ago so I wouldn't know it's gone all west brom.
