Ban all non-biodegradable packaging
18-03-2006 22:37
producer pays? – well no actually Here's the thing thing. I get really pissed of when on the one hand as individual I am told recycle recycle and switch off my lights and don't have baths (blah blah like I need telling........) whilst at the same time corporations are left alone to light and heat corporate building 24/7, water companies make massive profits for shareholders while water pours out of unrepaired mains pipes and manufacturers of stuff, supermarkets and fast food chains produce mountains of unnecessary packaging loads of which cannot be recycled and is destined for landfill or incineration. We pay for the privilege of having a recycling collection service (if we are lucky) or we pay the financial, health and environmental costs of it all being chucked into and landfill or incineration. All to get rid of rubbish we don't need or want in the first place. Now that doesn't seem right.Full article | 2 additions | 1 comment
