A new beginning....

Waste

That's it - I've had enough!

We used to put out less than a carrier bag of rubbish a week.

Since we've been here, things have gotten horribly bloated and its getting towards a bin bag a week... the only change has been that we are now stuck with the supermarkets and they package everything in tons and tons of stuff... and we are stuck having to buy the standard size of things, where we used to be able to buy in bulk and decant, leaving a fraction of the waste (and that was usually recyclable, or big enough to be of some use as storage etc)

Oh - and that the 'wonderful' recycling facilities suck! I mean, so what if they collect from the doorstep, they only take bottle shaped plastics. That leaves us with everything else going to the bin, even if its the same category or type as the 'bottle shaped' ones...

Argh!!!!!!!
