Thread Name: BS: ASDA & the Recycling Myth
Subject: RE: BS: ASDA & the Recycling Myth
That's all very well, Mijnheer Gelukkig, but I know a certain person who insists on recycling EVERYTHING, she won't throw a thing away. Everything has to be re-used. Yoghurt pots as plant pots. Vegetable trays to start seeds off in. Old newspapers are boiled down to a sort of grey porridge, which is then mixed with denatured potato peelings and served up as "kedgeree". Plastic carrier bags are stuffed with the contents of the vacuum cleaner, stuck together, and used as duvets. The furniture is made entirely of used matchsticks glued together, and chairs are upholstered with fluff extracted from the washing machine filter. And this at a time when pathetic parades of redundant dustmen beg pitifully for charity in the streets.
