Couldn't all eggs be sold in cardboard.opening eggs in plastic containers sounds horrible too !
When there was giro cheques,they were sent to Ireland and recycled as egg cartons ! |

A lot of packaging. I ordered make up online and they sent a massive box with 2 small items inside. It made no sense. I have children so a lot of my cardboard ends up in craft projects but that's not the point.
I refuse to put my lose fruit/vegetable in the plastic bags at super market I weigh and place the sticker on the fruit. I know some are using recyclable bags now but I still feel this is a waste. |

"Absolutely detest glitter, especially on cards! It gets everywhere, feels horrible and makes the card non recyclable. "
I am with you on that and it's even worse when you get a glitter happy person who puts it inside the card  I hate it |

Agree with all the above ^
We live in a throw away world.
When I was a child I had never set foot in a charity shop. My mum had such a 'thing' about secondhand things that she wouldn't even allow me to visit the library!
If I needed a book/books for reference (showing my age) she would buy it/them for me rather than have a used one in the house
Years later I've built quite a little business buying and selling secondhand goods.
I recommend charity shops to everyone. |

"Unnecessary cardboard packaging, such as around a tube of toothpaste, just why?! They go straight in the bin.. have you ever tried stacking tubes of toothpaste on the shelves without  "
Thats a ridiculous objection, it would be simple to change the design of the shelving to have a slot container for them to stand up in.
There are countries like Iceland that already banned this type of packaging after realising how pointless the waste was. Solutions are found when the will is there |

We rarely buy furniture new. I only bought my daughter a new bed well had it made as it was cheaper and better quality than the used ones at that time. All the rest of my furniture is second hand. Older stuff was made to last aswell.
And with items like books and ornaments I don't see why buy new. Older stuff is usually more interesting. My books tend to be third hand my sister does the charity shops reads them and then hands them down to me haha  |

"Morrisons and other supermarkets to ban glitter this Christmas.Tons of plastic ends up in sea,gets in food chain.
Wonder what else we can do without?"
Can’t stand the stuff. I remember picking the kids up once from nursery in the new Jag, black leather glinting from all the glitter
Took ages to clean it all out. |

Hobbycraft do an range of environmentally friendly glitter. Thats the only place i’ll get it from now. As a glitter fan I felt bad about the impact it was having on the environment so i stopped using it for a bit. Thank God for Hobbycraft  |

Yeah I'm down for biodegradable glitter.
I'm really not ok with non eye safe glitter (or pigments) being used in eyeshadow. (Or calling it pigment rather than eyeshadow to get around the problem, knowing full well it'll be used on the eyes) I don't care how pretty it is if it risks blinding you. |

The old fish and chip shops had your fish and chips wrapped in newspapers,not plastic containers.
.nowadays plastic containers often taste better than the fish |
