A few days ago I wrote about China’s recent ban on free plastic shopping bags, and other positive signs in the war on plastic.
Just as I was giving us all a pat on the back, though, The Independent has reminded me that there are plenty more battles to be fought – not least, with all that plastic packaging.
In this entertaining read, writer Archie Bland takes his fight with excessive packaging right to the check-out line – and leaves everything on the counter.
