So what happens if you follow government advice and leave excess packaging at the checkout?

Mind you, I may be overly suspicious, but I think some sort of wrapping round your sausages is a good thing, and cannot in itself be classed as overpackaging...

That's awesome! That's my sort of guerrilla warfare, and a very interesting article.

Yes, it was good, although I do feel slightly sorry for the checkout staff....

Heh! I saw this one in situ earlier. it makes a good point, but I can't help feeling that, were I stuck in the checkout queue behind one of these jokers, I might not be so sympathetic to The Message (especially on a Saturday morning in North Kent).

I think it's a bit stupid to be walking out clutching a bunch of mint-sprigs and a nude sprout or two, PLUS your extra plastic bag of excess packaging. What you need are some decent, old-style brown paper bags and a paper carrier-bag. I've got as far as refusing the plenitude of store-carrier-bags offered at each shop, and a partial re-use of some of the more ingeniously-shaped packaging within my Mask-making mini-empire. But I admit I ain't gonna save the planet single-handed thata-way.

Or jute/ cotton bags, as favoured on the continent. I have a number which I try to remember to take with me when I go shopping. Last forever, can be washed if necessary, and I've accumulated quite a pile of ones with jolly designs or which remind me of particular places.
