Planarchy Soapbox A to Z

C is for Cardboard

So, we've had philosophy and over-complicated nomenclature, must be time for a Green issue. 

Our cellar is constantly filling up with cardboard. 

Now, assuming there isn't some sort of anti-DKNZ Guy Fawkes thing going down, I think most of this is down to Sainsbury's.  Why so much cardboard?  Why does a small jar of pasta sauce also need a cardboard wrapper? Ditto four tins of beans.  And, if for some items the cardboard really is required then why can't I recylce it back at Sainsbury's?  I can take back my glass and paper but not the board.  Why?

As an afterthought, if rather than take the cardboard to the tip (where they have a cardboard recycling skip), it goes into the bin it's not only un-green its also going to cost me more in tax.  So the more cardboard Mr Sainsbury gives me, the more money I have to give to Tony, hmmm better to say no more I think.

Maybe C should have been for Conspiracy theories after all.
