        The entire point that seems to be being missed in the entire demonisation of plastic is, its finding its way into the oceans via polluters tipping it in the oceans. Why not deal with those arseholes first.

        Why is that wrong? We have a shocking number of animals being killed by plastic. Why do we have fruits and veg wrapped in it? It is an important and it must be addressed!

        Most fruits are grown with their own protective wrapping in place. Climate changing methane is generated from composting vegetable waste. Eat more cows. They don't fart methane after they have been eaten.

        Now Maggie!! There are few legal pleasures left in life. I urge you to savour the dining experience of a lifetime enjoying a Beef Stroganoff, made with succulent fillet steak from prime Aberdeen Angus.

        Thanks but meat is not healthy for you so I'll stick to my limited amounts. Not to mention what farmers do to cows and then the meat itself.

        I'm 78. My father died in 1946, aged 49, My mother died in 1980, aged 75. In my lifetime I have eaten more meat than my mother and father put together. At the moment I'm ahead. I concern myself more about what shepherds do with sheep than what farmers do with cows.

        Then you are lucky but unfortunately meat is not healthy when eaten http://regularly.In  fact even diabetes which people always associate with sugar actually can develop due to the substances in meat distracting the digestion of glucose.Everyone is different.

        Now I cannot rely on such wonderful people living next door, but the retired Bishop of Whitby now lives next door but two so the next time I will remain dead but get a good send off.

        Don't agree. Plastic rubbish is a menace and has been ignored for far too long.
