      Hi. I think recycling is a fantastic idea and it is ridiculous the amount of plastics that we use in packaging. I think it makes much more sense to bring your own bags for shopping. Nonetheless, in the UK we are still a bit behing in recycling in comparison to other countries such as Denmark or Sweden.

      Recycling is really good! and it is a quick way of using the countries money on different resources. A lot of money goes into recycling the plastic bags- so instead of making more waste why not invest in a reusable bag? I have one which has an owl on it that I can put in the wash too.

      Scotland, Ireland, Wales have been doing it for years! Daily Mail panicked a bit when it was introduced in England….

      Personally I find it appalling how lazy and wasteful *some* people are…..

      But this is nothing compared to the waste supermarkets create by throwing away food(that is still perfectly edible) and wrapping everything in plastic.
