Households are recycling their socks off while factories, businesses and even some schools and colleges have not even started.

Junk mail has not been banned.

The paperless office is a joke. Everything is printed out and filed and businesses have huge stores of archived twaddle.

Stores are finally being encouraged not to use plastic bags, yet food bags, freezer product packages, bin liners, nappy bags and dog poo bags have not been mentioned.

Most bins are made of plastic.

This train of thought was a result of junk mail from a water filter company which came in a clear plastic bag and contained various  stickers which stated:- ‘I’m an environmentally friendly cartridge‘ ‘recycle now,’ ‘better for you, better for the environment.’ Unfortunately these stickers were plastic. Enyaaaaaaaaaargrrrrraha!
