I do my recycling at home thanks Leatash. I always take my own carrier bags whenever food (or other) shopping, and never use those little plastic bags when buying loose fruit or veg. Some people still moan at having to pay for single use carrier bags, that’s something I can’t get my head around. Just take your own reusable bags!
Supermarkets generally don't sort their rubbish Leatash. Cardboard goes in a baler and foodwaste, plastic etc all gets thrown in the same big wheely bin that is taken away by a private company. The plastic you leave behind will most likely end up in landfill but if you took it home you could ensure that as much of your plastic as possible is recycled. Your stance is worthy but I think lobbying ...
If you really do take off all the plastic packaging while in the supermarket, how do you then hygenically get all your purchases home?
As per usual with anything to do with the environment it's to much hassle the only way to change the way things are packaged is to show the Supermarkets we dont want it, it's no good telling them you have to show them. So i presume burnside/Diana Mond you couldn't do it to help the environment because believe me those in power wont change things people will.
I can't believe how truly irresponsible and inappropriate the action leatash takes, do they really think causing such stress to a cashier is going to make a situation change overnight. Do something to affect the ones responsible not take it out on someone at the very end of the chain minding their own business and just trying to make an honest days living. I'm sure there is far more to go through ...

And it’s the poor person working on the till who faces the brunt of people’s ire.

But if everybody refused to take the packaging they would soon change but of course folk wont it's far to much trouble thats why we have a problem.
