Proving that concerns for our environment crosses party lines and oceans,
Conservative Member of Parliament John Hayes has come out against over packaging.
Mr Hayes, MP for South Holland and The Deepings, raised the issue during a House of Commons debate last week and is urging the Government to take action sooner rather than later to help save the environment.
He said: “When my young children have their toys they come packaged in paper, metal, plastic, wood and every other kind of thing that one can imagine.
“When we bought toys or when they were bought for us as children, they came very simply packaged.”
Mr Hayes added that there are many other examples of ways that excess packaging is getting “out of control”....He added: “Not too long ago fish and chips used to be wrapped in paper, not polystyrene boxes, and milk and pop came in returnable glass bottles.
“We need to look again at the benefits that returnable glass bottles and other forms of packaging can deliver compared to their plastic and polystyrene alternatives.”
