Everything you buy these days seems to come encased in plastic packaging. Most of the time this is out-and-out waste. Do we really need our cup-cakes supplied in a plastic tray? Surely an old fashioned paper bag would be sufficient.
And it's worse than that. After we fill our shopping carts with plastic encased food we take it the checkout and transfer everything into several disposable plastic carrier bags. Reusable cotten bags would be a much better idea.
Recycling helps of course - but we wouldn't have to go through the rigmarole of sorting and collecting all this stuff if it wasn't used in the first place.
Food for thought? And why do the BBC keep nicking my ideas?!

Your lighting creates a chocolate effect, nearly good enough to eat. We have "green bags" for shopping, very few plastic bags & some places charge for plastic to discourage it.

The supermarkets here sell light green bags for this very purpose, although the stunt that is illustrated in the article doesn't really do the job if there were only 200 of them made, does it? And will the people who have those 200 really use them for their purpose if they are worth so much money? I doubt it. That seems to be a publicity and marketing stunt that doesn't seem to achieve what it claims to. Not really my cup of tea.
That said, and rant over, I simply LOVE this picture. It's a stunner. The repeating shapes and that gorgeous lighting and colour is wonderful. Very nice work, Clive!
