36 empty carrier bags
A simple shop online with Tescos invariably results in a mountain of carrier bags. Almost every item lovingly individually wrapped. 100% biodegradable, the bags scream at me in big blue print. 100% full landfill sites I shout back, frustrated that my no car needed ecologically sound online shopping has turned into an environmental disaster.
Not that I'm really overly bothered about the whole environment thing. It did take twice as long to unpack the food though, which is a bit irritating. Why not deliver in recycled cardboard boxes, which can be unloaded from the van directly into the kitchen?
