Plastic Bags from The Press
Does anybody have a use for sturdy, clear plastic bags?? They are 24 cm x 30 cm in size. The Press gets delivered in them daily, so they are clean inside and I collect a good twenty-five a month and they are not recyclable. Therefore The Press leaves each and every subscriber no choice but to throw into the rubbish more than 2.5 Kg of solid plastic per year!!! Despite emailing them and calling them twice they have not revealed to me how many subscribers ( i.e. plastic bag wasters ) they have. If I did my math correctly that is 2.500 Kg or 2.5 ton of waste per 1.000 subscribers!! Imagine the mountain of plastic for say 25.000 or 30.000 subscribers. I talked to the duty-reporter once but she was not interested to deal with the subject.
