Yuk. But it was bound to happen. We are still far too attached to this byproduct of the petrochemical industry, marketed hard by the supper rich corporations, in order to provide the wealth needed to prop up some of the worlds worst, most oppressive and undemocratic governments; whose evil tyrannies would fall apart without that money.

The government/supermarkets encouraged and forced us all to stop using plastic carriers for our shopping. Yet, when I go into a supermarket with my reusable cloth bag, nearly every single item on offer for sale, is wrapped in plastic. Was this a sham, performance or what ?
