I see that as massive. The prepared sandwiches so often come in plastic packets and when you look on beaches and in woodlands that's the stuff you find. People also tend to buy a drink in a single use plastic bottle or cup at the same time as the sandwiches so it can break that pattern too.
I like to put biscuits in my sandwiches.

But are the biscuits individually wrapped? I thought it was weird when Mini Cheddars appeared in plastic bags about the size of crisp packets. Does that mean it actually sells more if you put biscuits in little plastic bags?!?

I bet that was in the days when the coffee was in a disposable cup with a single use plastic top on as well. Those tops wash up at the tide line all the time although in fairness I think Costa let you take your own cup now so some positive change going on.

I currently breath a lot, but I intend to give it up when I die.

Yep .. thats the life we live. Never saw rice pudding selling in the groceries here. We cook that ourselves and dont eat our of cans and microwave meals ... disgusting stuff.
Well everyone has their likes and dislikes I do happen to agree with you on this though.

I will even take longer to heat up something in the oven that would be much quicker in the microwave.

Mosses and some algae grown in the beard or moustache area can reduce your overall COâ‚‚ admissions as an interim measure.

I keep winter heating expenses really low by closing the bedroom lined roman blinds as it starts to get dark and colder. On really cold days they stay down most of the day if the rooms are unused. Once it’s dark all of them are closed. I use draught excluders and thick curtains in our unheated utility room and collect free seasoned firewood for my wood burner from across the road, compliments of the sad event of Ash dieback 😢

I make huge batches of veg and lentil l soup and freeze it in a concentrated form. I bake my own bread, buying a range of quality flours online. It’s not cheap but a great taste.

We never waste any food! The veg peelings get composted.

Wow amazing, do you mind being asked how that came about? Was that a lifestyle change at some point or did it just evolve that way from your values?
