Just "how" did us mere mortals
manage, say, 25 years ago with a single metal
dustbin (which the dustman used to dare to
carry onto his shoulder)....is it a case of
we didn't throw half as much away due to lack
of packaging? We used newspapers etc as
firelighters so no waste paper and fruit, veg
& other food wasn't hermetically sealed
in case we died from a single bacteria on
something involving about 3 layers of
polystyrene,plastic and paper inserts for
everything reminding us that a bag of nuts
may contain nuts! arghhhhhhhhhhhh (I might
have just exploded).
Yup. One metal dustbin. I remember those
days. Of course we used to burn a lot of
stuff back then. There was not as much
plastic then. Fruit and veg were never
wrapped in anything. A lot of stuff came in
returnable glass bottles as well.
