environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling Recycling in the home is very important of course However being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need We are dealing with the results of that over consumptionover consumption in the greenest way possible but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place The total amount of packaging increased by 12 between 1999 and 2005 It now makes up a third of a typical household s waste in the UK In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment The UK for example is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste If such packaging is burnt it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect Recycling helps but the process itself uses energy The solution is not to produce such items in the first place Food waste is a serious problem too Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need However a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags for example But this is not just about supermarkets It is about all of us We have learned to associate packaging with quality We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality This is especially true of food But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products which often have far more packaging than necessary There are signs of hope As more of us recycle we are
