Are Hi vis jackets are needed to collect litter from the beach?
However "Some crisp packets cannot be recycled" But yet they collect them (after eating them and washing them) and take them to be recycled.
Washing crisp packets and driving them to distant recycling point uses more energy than it could potentially save. Add the cost (energy wise) of the pointless hi-vis jacket and her total recycling effort is negative.
But you are forgetting the problem of plastic in general and its effect on the wildlife. Brian
Neighbours cat loves playing with his ping pong balls (plastic).
I haven't seen Neighbours in years, is the cat named Bouncer?
Yes, they make it easy to find you by the coastguard when you get marooned by the tide coming in.
Bonus point if you can explain Cnwch Coch to a 999 operator in Basingstoke :-)

So did mine. We had to keep a spare hidden for when he lost his first one.

Very likely true, although I do applaud anybody who picks up litter. I'm not sure why these children are on BBC, though? Don't loads of people pick up litter without anyone taking a blind bit of notice?
These are the *original* green children:
Good grief. It's a blonde girl saving the planet - and a British girl at that. And you think the BBC should pass up the opportunity to show her? You cannot be serious man!
Outside our nursery school, the kids used coloured chalk on the pavement (assisted no doubt by the teachers) to create a mural in opposition to climate change. A couple of hours later the mummies started arriving in their Chelsea tractors to take the little darlings home.
but she isn't black or mentally handicapped?
At least once every six months, that's about 40 packets a week ...
What beach? Looked like a road (albeit a quite one) to me.
I rather gathered the impression they couldn't be recycled locally but when they have a box full they will take them to somewhere were they CAN be recycled .
Whether the fuel used to transport these packets to some where else is worth the effort/cost/carbon saving/WHY is left as an exercise for the reader.
As always I have to question the use of treated water (chlorinated/cleaned ) to rinse out recyclables. Would rain water, collected in some sort of 'butt', not be 'greener'?
How lovely.
They've been drawing penises on the pavement here.

The problem is those who drop it.
We've just returned from 4 weeks in France. You just don't see little on the streets or by the roadside. Same in other countries I've visited. Yet our tree huggers think nothing of leaving their discarded rubbish after a protest or just as they go about their normal life, then preach to the rest of us.
They even dumped the banners after the climate change protest.
I saw one of them smoking and suggested she was personally contributing to CO2 emissions and global warming. She tried to argue the amount of CO2 was minimal when the more creative person next to me pointed out that if all the space used for growing tobacco were used instead for growing food there would be less hunger. That shut her up!
Agreed on the first bit, but washing crisp packets?
I refuse to wash stuff for recycling. Surely, a beans tin can be melted down even if it has a couple of beans left in?
