I recently ordered a new nightie and bra and knickers set from M & S. They came in a black plastic bag, the nightie was on a plastic hanger and enclosed in a plastic bag. The bra and knickers were also in separate plastic bags on separate plastic hangers. Now I'm a neat freak but even I dont hang underwear and nighties up on hangers - so unnecessary.

I toys agree Teetime. DH gets publications through the post and most of them come in plastic wrappers. Yesterday, he received a gardening magazine without plastic wrapping, just an address label stuck to the back of the magazine.
If one company can do it, why can't the others?

Why did Kindle change totally into toys?

Kindle spell check does strange things.
On another tack I received about 8 items in todays post all of which went into the recycling bin. My 'brown' bin gets bigger and bigger every week.

National Trust and some other heritage organisations now send their magazines etc in compostable plastic bag made from corn starch ( a very good use for it, better than padding out food products with it.)
