Supermarkets and the Environment

[HiHo]

Are supermarkets doing enough to help the environment?

Perhaps the Government should legislate what they can or cannot sell and in what type of packaging?

Maybe you think its entirely consumers fault and that they should change their shopping habits?

Here we go again, what did we do years, and years ago, there too many rules, before everyone gets on there wagon about what we eat, when we eat it, what we eat it in. why dont we put more things into perspective, the killing thats going on out there in the streets, the children that are turning into animals against each other in packs. Yeh, go on, worry about the packaging, that will fix the police when they are attacked by other so called humans in the streets, worry about the plastic that you put in your bin, when the bin out side some one elses house could have a bomb in it.

Come on, whats more important.

whats more likely?

being blown to bits by a bomb in a bin outside your home / being knifed or suffering due to human caused environment damage?

Yeh, go on, worry about the packaging, that will fix the police when they are attacked by other so called humans in the streets, worry about the plastic that you put in your bin

so we make a top ten list of problems with the world and society and only deal with them one at a time?

the issues of apparent disregard of consequences when it comes to youth crime is scary and should be a priority - as should how much junk we throw away each year.

Sandyman I imagine this town (link below) would make you weep with despair, instead of tackling important things ike all those bombs in bins it looks like they have just spent their time sorting out environmental issues.

although i wonder, is there perhaps some community spirit involved? and perhaps a little more respect for each other as well as the environment?
