Sick of excess packaging, what about leaving it in the store? This is from
a Guardian article in 2006:
The environment minister Ben Bradshaw advised food shoppers to leave
excessive wrapping at the tills and to report the stores to trading
standards in an attempt to cut the amount of unnecessary plastic sent to
landfill sites.
A spokesman for Tesco said: "We would prefer it if our customers use our
recycling facilities, but if customers want to leave their packaging with
us we will deal with it appropriately." Earlier this year Tesco unveiled
a10-point "community plan" designed to boost its reputation and green
credentials, which included promises to boost recycling and cut packaging.
Its latest figures, for 2004, show that it recycled about 60% of its waste.
A spokesman for Asda described the minister's call for shoppers to dump
their waste in store as "an interesting development". He added: "We are not
sure it is that helpful, but we understand what he is getting at." It said
it was making small changes which have a big impact - such as taking pizzas
out of cardboard boxes, which will save 747 tonnes of cardboard in a year -
and was also "rolling out the best recycling machines in the world".
Sainsbury's said it was "totally committed" to cutting back on packaging
and using more environmentally friendly wrappers: "We have made significant
progress this year, including moving a great number of food and drink items
to either compostable materials ... or recyclable material."
Now that would be fun, seeing how long the checkout queues would get. Its
Netto and Lidl for me, as all the chavs who shop there would be too idle to
unpack everything.
