I agree with Londonalgiers, we need to use less paper, electricity, plastic bags, and polystyrine.
When i first arrived here I was shocked (now i am just angry) by the amount of waste being produced just at supermarkets. I hate the polystirine(sp) dishes used at the deli then it is put in a plastic bag and then another plastic bag at the checkout!
At the checkouts only a couple of items are put in each bag and you end up going home with 6 or more bags. I now tell them to fill the bags up and I try never to go home with more than 3 bags and only to use big bags so i can recycle them are rubbish bags. The checout people look at me as if I am stupid - lots of education is needed.
