The problem of plastic.
We all know that plastic has become a huge problem world wide. The problem in our seas and waterways has to be addressed before it is too late. Perhaps a new industry could be started - fishing for plastic.
While any type of plastic is problematic if it is dumped in the environment, it is less so if it is either recycled or placed in licenced land fills.
Recently there has been a huge guilt pressure (by unthinking people) on supermarkets to do away with (single use plastic bags). Personally I believe they have picked the wrong target. So called single use plastic bags can be used over and over again and for a myriad of purposes and when they have fulfilled their purpose they can be responsibly disposed of. I take my plastic bags back week after week when I do my supermarket shopping and with care they last for ages.
I believe the problem that needs to be addressed are all the products that are prepacked and this doesn't only pertain to supermarkets - go to a hard ware shop ! THIS IS WHAT I WOULD DEEM AS BEING ONE USE PLASTIC and is what makes up the majority of plastic waste.
