Too much food packaging
March 9, 2008
It amazes me how much packaging supermarkets and producers use for their food products. All of this hits the dustbin almost immediately furthering the problems with the planet’s environment.
On my first trip to the new Morrisons in York city centre, I was flabbergasted when I saw the above – one banana packaged in cellophane with a polystyrene back!
A Banana already has its own packaging – why add more? Even if you do not view the environment as a concern, what a waste of time, money and resource.
I would like to see much tighter regulations on food packaging to avoid this unnecessary waste.

I don’t understand, do you mean change as in getting rid of this tired, duplicitous government and it’s vacuous yet controlling leader, or change as in keep things the same?
Perhaps you could write a post about it.
Liked the Sheffield ‘92 video on YouTube.

I mean change as in ensuring that ordinary people like me engage, enter and get involved in politics to make this country and this world a better place.

It amazes me how people are saying this is a tired government, it is only when people look at all the downsides. Have people even lived or eve remember what it was like 18+ years ago. I even saw a poll yesterday saying the tories are the most down-to-earth party….I was dumbstruck on that one….I mean come on Boris Johnson. Anyway I totally agree that is a complete waste, why would anyone want to buy one banana like that, nipping in to a supermarket to buy banana to find you have carry out a brick. Plus it would be surely 6-8p cheaper without all that waste of time.
