Well maybe it's time our idiot government brought in a law making it compulsory to use recyclable materials for such things, in-between wasting Parliamenary time and taxpayers' money on nonsense like same-sex marriage etc, which affects a tiny minority of this country's population, and is of miniscule importance compared with the serious environmental issues which are set to destroy our planet's ecosystem !
It's about time the litter laws were properly enforced too... should we happen to see an odd police officer out of his or her car.
