Photo a Day Challenge - Trash

Too late - the Rubbish cart has already been on Monday, so nothing in the dustbin except a bit of fluff from the vacuum cleaner.  Rather than miss out on todays challenge here is proof of no trash (rubbish). 

Like the old lady who looked into the bin....I C U R M T......

We do try and keep down the amount of rubbish that goes to landfill. There was a time we did not have to even think of this.

I do not remember having to spend so much time on recycling - I suppose there wasn't the packaging then. 

I remember as a child going to the local store and asking for a pound of broken biscuits, and the store keeper took a brown paper bag, opened the lid of the tin and scooped out some biscuits.  I also remember not that many years ago - during the late 1960s, that my Nan sent me to the Bakers to buy threepence worth of stale cakes - these were left over cakes and buns baked the day or two before, and they were delicious - and cheap.

Do you remember going to the supermarket - there weren't any plastic carrier bags - the trolley went up to the til and as the cash out girl unloaded your trolley she put it direct into another, and you took that to the car and unloaded your shopping in to the car. 

And the time you collected your glass beer bottles and other drink bottles and got cash in return.  The milkman delived your milk on the doorstep in glass bottles and you collected your empties.  All mail was delivered in paper envelopes and magazines were rolled up in a strip of paper with your address on, no plastic sleeves.

Clothes were made to last.  Kitchen appliances were made to last years, not a few months and you had to buy another. 

Just too much plastic in this world which causes damage to wildlife and sea life......I could go on and on if I put my mind to it.
