[TickTock]

I agree with garrazzaband - we put a lot of our own energy into 'saving' energy, keeping stuff out of landfill, recycling etc., and our packaging doesn't always have these signs and numbers which other countries seem to have. Our task is made even harder. The glory days I remember is when we used to have an open fire and anything that could be burned.......was! Maybe it was me wot damaged the ozone layer! Apologies for that. My mum never had as much rubbish to get rid of as I do because she burned everything in the open fire.

This is what I do. After I've done the washing up I pop any plastic packaging from meat/veg etc that has the arrows on, into the still hot and soapy water and rinse it out and put it in my green bin. If it has the arrows then it is recyclable and I let the professionals decide what to do with it. I can't be expected to know everything and there is too much to keep track of. This is my tuppence worth.....if its worth even that much!
