    Another "yuppie hippy" based profiteering con

    How come a supermarket chain that has recently stopped supplying the consumer free plastic bags (that 90% of which would get recycled as garbage bags) will sell you a reusable "green bag" for $1 yet they will not supply a used cardboard box to transport your groceries?

    They could even selling a used box for 20c, surely Visy would not pay that much.


    Just another "green con"?

    I wonder if same chain that one now has to make sure you have a gold coin donation to use their freakin shopping trolleys. Easy option now is to just go to the other major where you don't have to faff about with gold coins...poor old folk trying to work out why they have 5 trolleys tied together etc. Hopefully soon...next 12/ 18 mths...I wont have to worry about supermarkets....will be growing and slaughtering my own and can chuck produce in anything I damn want

    Regards

    Interesting, you breed them, claim a baby bonus to feed them for the 18mths, then it's happy farm time and the freezers are stocked.

    Living like kings whilst eating like Gerbils.


    To sensitive readers this is a joke, I am not implying that stevo eats his young nor do I endorse anyone who does

    I feel green, but that may be because I haven't brushed my teeth yet.

    Anyone else share my concern that not enough is being done solve the toothbrush recycling problem?

    Would you like me to post one out to you?

    I keep old brushes I find at the tip, I sharpen them up to be used as shivs. My neighbours pay top dollar for a shiv with a strangers D.N.A on it
