I'm definitely going to write another post on plastic, because there's much more to be said on this subject. Re-recycling - years ago, before I was made redundant from my job as a trade magazine editor, I was invited to a city up north to judge a food contest (which was fun!). The evening before the contest, the judges were invited to dinner with local dignitaries, including several councillors (local government reps). After dinner, some of the councillors started talking about recycling programmes, and one of them said, "Until recently, all different colours of glass were recycled together, but we still got the public to sort them into different containers, as it made them feel more actively involved."
