Another government body destroying our natural habitats and all they’ll get is rap on the knuckles and miniscule fine.

Absolute cunts. Its scandalous how poorly managed our river network is. A complete waste and abuse of a generous resource we were blessed with.

They poisoned a river up by Ennistymon last year and there would have been nothing done about it only the locals kicked up

Until the directors of those government bodies are held personally liable nothing will be done.

The River Allow had freshwater mussels in it that were older than the State itself. Cleansed out of it.

I understand why the attached-cap-system was introduced to bottles and cartons, despite the difficulty around using them.
But why are tear strips on boxes becoming more popular? To open a box you now have to tear off and throw away 1-2cm of cardboard. A single perforated line or none at all would be fine.

Are we taking a step backwards?
Who decides these things?

A long enough article, but worth a read and consideration for all parents out there.

No mention of banning The Toy Show unfortunately.

Some very disturbing figures here.
8Kg of waste per person per day…

There should be an immediate ban of single use, unrecyclable plastic. So much packaging on the market cant be recycled. New eu scope emission legislatikn will.bring change but there are about 90 types of plastic and many are not recyclable.

Xmas jumpers another blight. Single use, wasteful shit
