Funny how The Mail pushed for, and claimed they succeeded in, forcing the plastic bag issue and yet their Saturday and Sunday supplements come encased in plastic bags!!
You might not have noticed that in all the Government blather about eliminating plastic is a little word that pops up now and again....necessary.
The plastic bags the newspapers cover their magazines with is 'necessary' packaging - because magazines have so many inserts it would be difficult to handle them without it. Presumably, the concept of paper bags is unheard of in newspaper circles. How do I know? Well, I asked and that's the reply!
So, yes, its a very worthy thing to promote elimination of plastic........provided it doesn't affect us.
I must admit, I am surprised that so far, the firm's concerned haven't asked for a Government grant, they could take a lesson from Mr Branson.
