QUITE often in the media you will hear of complaints about the use of plastic.
The supermarkets put on a charge for their bags to make customers reuse them, good idea.
We also criticise them for too many items being wrapped in plastic.
One thing I have NOT heard, is anyone criticise the charity organisations for sending (in my case) at least three to four bags in a week, none of which state that they are recyclable.
If these bags are not recyclable, just think how many bags are delivered through your letterbox in a year multiplied by how many houses there are in the UK.
The amount of collection bags delivered, if used, we would be all running around half naked – “perish the thought”.
