    Cost saving measures for big companies sold as environmentalism.

    Meanwhile everything you buy from a supermarket comes in plastic packaging.

    If they were serious they’d ban single use disposable plastic drink bottles. Think about how much plastic is used just to package some biscuits.

      Recently did some work in a well to do school at exam time here in UK. Every single student had a bottle on their desk. Out of a hall full one morning, I counted less than a dozen reusable ones. The school canteen sold single use bottles over the counter and there were a couple of machines full of them for when the canteen was closed.

      I was absolutely disgusted. They didn’t even see the irony of their posters and artwork telling all and sundry how we need to protect the earth and its inhabitants.
