4 items, 1 pile of waste

So, to summarise, we have bought some tomatoes, some peppercorns to refill our pepper mill, and some herbs. Really not a substantial amount of items, but a quite insane amount of packaging. Let's not forget Sainsbury's pledge:

We are focusing on reducing the amount of packaging we use wherever possible.

Well, this really doesn't look like you're trying very hard at all, does it?



Its all well and good expecting us to recycle our carrier bags, but perhaps we wouldn't need so many of the things if there wasn't such a huge amount of packaging wrapped around everything we buy. Even more shameful - a high proportion of this packaging cannot be recycled at all.

So as yet, we're not convinced, Sainsbury's.
