How wasteful is this?

Well, talk about waste…my bin collection is on a Sunday, and last week nothing was picked up, and I daresay nothing will collected tomorrow either :frowning_face:

even though the council have sent us a calendar specifying dates over the festive season when it will be collected It says SUNDAY. :frowning_face:

they probably run out of the right sized boxes but have to get the items out pronto. I’m just happy that the stuff it’s packed with is biodegradable.

Wollongong council opened the local tip to allow free acceptance of recyclable Christmas waste. Shellharbour council on the other hand had an extra collection of the recycling bin on the off week (normally collected fortnightly)

Isn’t the topic about packaging?

Bloody hell! It seems to me that Amazon is shouldering their responsibilities for “recycling” onto you and the deliverer’s stagger is an occupational ploy because that package could have been delivered between thumb and forefinger … did you tip him?

Good grief - No!

This is how to make a cup of tea …

there was a discussion on tv saying that if your Christmas wrap scrunches up into a ball then it’s ok to recycle. If it bounces open again then it’s landfill. You’d think they would stop making the stuff that springs open.

Love the dog lying in the lavender. Azerbaijani cooking channels seem to be all the rage.

There is absolutely no waste where Mrs LD’s tea is concerned. I do not drink tea, so I make sure she gets her favourite every time … London Strand Strong. I brew it in a 2 cup pot and then the wet leaves left are kept in a composting container with the packets fully recycled in the cardboard/paper section of the council collections :+1:

Yes waste packaging, not green tea…:slight_smile:
And while we are on that subject I visited a lot of paper mills in my time. Mostly they were recycled paper but one was in Taiwan made from sugar cane or bagasse.

You will need something much more capable than a strainer, the “tea” in tea bags is tea dust - you know the stuff they sweep up off the floor.
