Problems With Plastic.

[Curvylady]

With all the current bad publicity about plastic I have been more aware about this problem in my own area. I only have to drive to my local supermarket and I notice plastic sheets wrapped around trees and bushes, plastic bottles in grass verges, carrier bags in shreds caught on fences, the list goes on. Would it be a good idea to get offenders who are doing community service to be put to work collecting this rubbish.

If plastic was baled like paper, cardboard & alluminium it would be a valuable commodity for recycling.

Depends whether the curves go in or out.

[jourdain2]

They curve in the appropriate places, Vulcan. Down Boy!

Oh, Curvylady......you've nudged the bee in my bonnet......it breaks my heart every day to see the litter as I'm driving through the countryside....and our towns are no better.
I can get off the ferry in Dublin and drive across to the west coast of Ireland and if I see six bits of litter it's a bad day.
The plastic bag levy has been fantastic in Ireland....it completely changed people's thinking and everyone now has canvas bags for shopping.....
If the litter I see here is anything to go by we're way behind on this....trees are still displaying witches tattered undies....
We have a great tradition of Tidy Towns competitions...they're taken very seriously and everyone takes responsibility for where they live.
In the school in my little town there are no litter bins.....pupils take home their own rubbish at the end of the day to be put into the correct bins.....and they do.
I think Kenya has a complete ban on plastic bags...wouldn't that be good.... :-)

Good luck with your efforts and look at the Keep Britain Tidy organisation for tips...x

And this was so, so long ago.... :-(
