Common sense to reduce our waste
 |
| Council leader Pam Doodes with binman Kevin Gausden, doing her bit for the environment |
I'm glad to see Pam Doodes,
leader of Wealden District
Council, talking some common
sense (The Argus, March 24). We
need packaging reduced at
source.
Many products have far
more packaging than is
necessary. Recently I ordered a
microwave oven. The packaging
was about 20 per cent of the total
weight. Only the outer
packaging could be recycled.
What has happened to this
country? When I was a child and
brought up on a farm eight miles
outside an east coast city, it did
not matter where anyone lived.
Rubbish was collected every
week without fail. Everything
was taken regardless of what
was put out.
