Its a valid point, so many of the offerings from out supermarkets have two or three layers of packaging when one would suffice.

It was being discussed on Jeremy Vine before 1pm too.

The supermarkets have made big differences but still councils are saying "you're rubbish, do more", all the while they can't even take the current amount of recycling let alone any more!

Good point raised by business guy on Vine; he said that if they were to have less packaging they'd have far more wasted and spoiled food (he did mention the figures, I forget) but all the "lobby groups" figures completely disregard that fact.

This gets right on my tits, especially when the supermarkets are charging for carrier bags in the name of the environment. In fact I got so angry one afternoon that www.carrierbagcon.com

I didn't realise part of our language was reserved for for the deviant classes.

Perhaps she should have said "Thas ruining r street wi all that muck"
