Until then I'll keep taking the pictures!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-11608790981019131702018-04-24T14:53:20.221+01:002018-04-24T14:53:20.221+01:00A lovely place to walk!

I hope so not only from the environmental aspect of it but quite frankly the milkman, like the postie, got to know all his customers and would notice if something was amiss. I know I would support such a move if we had it here in France.Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-41995546618505396922018-04-20T17:50:31.944+01:002018-04-20T17:50:31.944+01:00I think they have to start pretty slowly and then ...I think they have to start pretty slowly and then work up to it. I know France "banned" plastic bags in supermarkets about 7 years ago and everyone got used to bringing their own bags. No big deal really is it. But there's so much more to do.Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-87788653018190778852018-04-20T17:13:36.301+01:002018-04-20T17:13:36.301+01:00What beautiful scenery you have while on your walk...What beautiful scenery you have while on your walk!<br />I am so against single use plastics also but amazingly the world is against straws but not so much plastic soft drink bottles, which in my mind are a far bigger culprit. I am old enough to remember when you paid a deposit on glass bottles which were reused. The same with milk!

There is the odd city in Canada that has banned them but it really should be from a National level. People who want straws can pack a permanent one around - maybe made out of recycled metal. They do a shore cleanup here too - so much garbage pulled out of the water and surrounding shorelines. I want to volunteer some year but our holidays keep coinciding with it.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.com
