[Closed] Recycling - what a load of b****x

[i]I'd think "Sh*t how am I going to get that through the house and in the shed without being spotted?"[i]

😆

I like getting overpackaged goods, means I can sell things on ebay at package them at minimal cost.

I dont think I have bought a box/envelope for years. Plenty of rolls of brown tape though.

Infact part of my loft is taken up by the fire risk that is the spare packaging mountain.

I always reuse packaging from showers and pedestals etc as it makes sense to.

will1 made a valid point about excessive packaging and how we are expected to recycle it.

Less packaging less recycling!

WTF are you buying pencils in the first place!!??
Use a stick in the dirt, like any other eco-sensitive soul you filthy planet rapist.

Good point, but remember to pick only wind fallen sticks and ecologically inert dirt to disturb. Otherwise consider excising your own femur and drawing with some of your spare entrails.

I've always seen Recycling as third R after Reduce and Reuse.

Why don't you order some gingko tablets off the internet instead and just remember whatever it was you were planning to write down.

I dont recycle anything.

I only recycle little green bottles and cans because they'd fill my wheelie bin otherwise!!

At least it did not come on a [url= http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/23/enormouse/ ]crate[/url]

All those people doing there bit at the local recycle center, a can in here a piece of paper there. A total waste of time and costing the local councils money to back up all this crap. Until the China and the U.S.A start doing something we really are wasting our time.Take plastic bags we are mucking around with our own bags when Walmart give you almost a bag for each item you buy.The size of this country isn`t going to change nothing

You do realise that the new powerhouse economies are asking why we're lecturing them on sustainability and reducing consumption when the general populaces of the English based countries show no interest?

I had a friend who was a cowboy and used to walk around completely wrapped in brown wrapping paper, although I haven't seen him since he was jailed for rustling.

I'm surprised nobody has brought up the importance of retaining the packaging for future reference

in this respect i find the eggbox style stuff is always out of focus and the transparent stuff a bit confusing if you put it down on top of for example an open copy of [i]À la recherche du temps perdu[/i] you can never get anything to work properly

At last our council are accepting recyclable plastcs and cardboard for recycling.

Why buy pencils or steals them from work? I getine from IKEA, I get my biros from my bank they come with a free chain too.

I need a box and some packaging, how much are these pencils?

No I'm with the OP on this;

We're told to turn lights off, only boil enough water to make a cuppa, insulate out lofts etc etc; but then you see office buildings with all lights blazing all night when there's no-one there, shops with highly-illuminated display windows on all night, big LCD panels with nowt useful on, etc etc...

Too many fat lazy coppers driving about in spensive BMWs instead of actually getting off their arses and patrolling the streets on foot. It's Obese Britain.

Recycling is an entertainment business for the consumer at the moment, and is clearly divorced from the underlying economic and environmental realities of what we should / could do with out waste.

That being said, people seem to be increasingly aware that there's a lot of bollox spoken about recycling. It's likely that a more intelligent approach will evolve than blindly chucking everything in a recycling bin because the council says so.

I also have to agree with the OP. Until they stop over packing everything and stop government officials driving around in stupid sized motors I refuse to recycle anything. I believe that you cannot now buy 100W light bulbs yet you can buy a 7 litre engined car?? Something is not right witht he world we live in IMO.

Cheers for the support fellas i was on my own for a while!! 8)

ds1 - i like it! 😆

were so far gone, we dont even need to recycle!

use your common sense! if you order something and it comes in a big box you can use it for other things.

toilet roll etc, use to ignite my fire 😉

and at the end of the day if someone wants to order something online, its down to the companys to be helping out with the 'polution problem'.

not packing the shit out of everything.

just my input 😉

sure all you tree hugers got something to say 😉
wooop

best giggle ive had in ages.

I believe that you cannot now buy 100W light bulbs yet you can buy a 7 litre engined car??

Better than being able to buy 100W light bulbs AND 7 litre cars innit?

Well, that taught me......a 2 day ban. You can imagine how devastated I have been (not)!! Just for stating the obvious about certain members.
To the usual foolish people who always jump to conclusions, yes they were specialist pencils that I was not even able to order from Water St - my local Stationers (I did try). Once again it shows the character of some members on here. Perhaps if I get a 'P' at the side of my name and kiss some a**e of the STW leaders I could end up the same as you - Bah Bah bah.
Funny how some people can voice their opinions and others cannot on here.
Anyway it's great to be back!!

Lol at junkyard just as stated above 'jumping to conclusions' you are the typical typecast person. Does me buying the mag every month not count in your eyes? Bah Bah

why would you want to be called will1p?

or pwill1?

Surely 1p matters to him, hence the Amazon order?

You got a ban will1? What for?
I always buy the mag instead of being a member with a P buy my name.
I find it hard to take a dump with a laptop on my knee!!! 😀
