The Empty Weblog

Im feel like im being left out alot at work, which is hard when I was involved with everything.

Just a bit saddened by it.

My Drink has a plastic straw, im going to throw it away.

My soup came in a non-recycleable plastic container, the lid can be recycled, I threw it away.

My bread rolls came in a  plastic film that can not be recycled.

Marks and Spencers still give away “small bags” for free, while charging for larger ones.

I ask 3 questions:

1. Why put it in disposable containers? Supply it in ways where I use my own container.
2. Why don’t companies have recycle bins for all waste? Make them.
3. Make it illegal to ship packaged foods in non recycleable containers.

We’ve finally run out of plastic bags, this is all down to using bag for lifes in almost all our shopping.

This has now forced me to face the question, what do I put in my bins to keep rubbish in?

The answer, is nothing, no bio bags, nothing. Because I can just tip my bins contents into my wheely bin, and then give it a quick rinse with the hose. - Please say NO to unecessary waste.

I saw a woman, ask for a bag for a single item a few days ago, this item was already bagged (with a handel) and  she asked for a bag to put it in from the shop assistent! - We must all be pretty used to them to be like that.

Im a fan of sourcing things locally, I shop at farmers market’s to get stuff as local as possible. I believe in doing this because of the Econemy, our country’s community and the impact we have on the enviroment. I simply see no point in having a potato from Spain when it can come from down the road!

Despite farmers markets, they are not local enough or regular enough to stock my fridge every week, so I still rely on Supermarkets.

My ones of choice are Waitrose and Marks and Spencers. Waitrose tend to buy from alot of the people selling at the farmers markets, this is often meat and drink products, they are rather poor on the vegetable side though with alot of my stuff coming from overseas. Well god bless marks and spencers, today I got beef, potatos, spring onions, red, orange and yellow peppers and spinach. ALL of it is from the UK.

Well done Mark, you too Spencer.

Labours days are finally numbered.

Im wearing new clothes I quite like.

Im about to goto work.

Im being spied on, they may well read this, don’t you have anything better to do?
