        How is hounding those who depend on 2for1 deals and cheap clothing going to save the planet? Feeding Eamon Ryans inner fuzzy feeling is going to result in increased poverty rates

        Two-For-One deals will just become 50%-Discount deals.

        Not everyone who buys 2 for 1 wastes most of it Where there are communal bins in apt blocks how can you levy fines properly for non segregation of rubbish

        @EamonRyan and his utopic ideas for the rich class... Start by providing segregate bins in parks and public areas, and replacing State fleet into electric models before pushing against us citizens. Lead by example, not by force.

        Recycling is free(bar the yearly fee you have to pay anyway) You pay by weight for refuse so it's far cheaper to separate rubbish. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

        They don't do 2 for one pizzas at golf resorts... and those places are very "green". Actually, golf courses are ridiculously bad for the environment.
