Being disabled means I have to be transported by car, although just for occasional local journeys. I so wish that manufacturers of supermarket produce were “charged an additional tax” by the amount of unnecessary packaging they used. That would soon get them making SERIOUS efforts. I do believe in recycling as much as possible.
