The sad thing with the UK right now is that people seem to have lost respect for everything: other people, society, authority, and even in themselves. Throwing away masks is a symptom of this new trend. In our area, (a bit posh), we have people picking up the dog's poo in a plastic bag then throw the bag in peoples' front garden! What does that say about the person's mentality?<br /><br />I agree with you about personal choice and lifestyles. That's why I get annoyed at these experts who proclaim their ways are the best.<br /><br />And we need to tackle the plastic problem at source. Why is packaging so different? We buy sugar and flour in paper bags at the supermarket. Why not rice, lentils, cereals, pasta etc ... Why is it in plastic bags?<br /><br />God bless, Jan.

You see them everywhere littering up the ground. I cannot understand why people just throw them away why can't they dispose of them sensibly?<br /><br />Take care, my good wishes.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-40952069011775474772021-02-18T09:35:23.398-08:002021-02-18T09:35:23.398-08:00Stop eating meat?

Dear Victor, who would order that many rubber ducks in the first place? I fear the rubber duck fiasco is deeper than commercialism --it burns in the depths of unrequited infantilism and denial that a particular problem involves the entire sphere. As usual, I ask: is anybody working on this?Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-88473133763749629522021-02-17T23:43:33.670-08:002021-02-17T23:43:33.670-08:00Fabulous blogFabulous blogRajani Rehanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439571117569471650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-51451906167278942782021-02-17T20:14:15.956-08:002021-02-17T20:14:15.956-08:00A slightly out of character rant that I completely...A slightly out of character rant that I completely agree with!joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-28723289556141245462021-02-17T18:08:33.336-08:002021-02-17T18:08:33.336-08:00Victor, if you buy wholesale and prepare meals to ...Victor, if you buy wholesale and prepare meals to freeze, you cut down at least half of the excess waste...Mariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-16819640323036446302021-02-17T16:29:12.720-08:002021-02-17T16:29:12.720-08:00God bless, Happyone.God bless, Happyone.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-115113818266333022021-02-17T15:41:10.407-08:002021-02-17T15:41:10.407-08:00So true!!So true!!happyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186179870233267082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-73684486962759106612021-02-17T13:47:46.441-08:002021-02-17T13:47:46.441-08:00Well-said, Martha.

All they're good at is letting their verbal diarrhea escape... <br />We prepare our own meals from scratch for health reasons and that also solves a lot of problems you mention. Schools should teach kids mannerism as one finds trash being thrown out of the car after finishing eating a snack or any kind of food/drink. THAT needs attention but not scolding an entire population.<br />Plastic in the ocean is mainly a problem in the Philippines, so go and address it at its source and don't make other countries constantly pay for their cleanup! And so on...<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-63609219730413710742021-02-17T10:15:04.440-08:002021-02-17T10:15:04.440-08:00Sheep to the slaughter-literally!
