Why do they make it so hard?

I'm really making a big effort to not use or buy so much plastic. We compost already and I do recycle but supermarkets seem intent on making me fail. The bottle you can recycle but the cap 'you should check with local recycling'. What does that mean? Do I phone my council and ask if a particular supermarket's mayonnaise lid is recyclable in my area? Surely not!

And why can you ask for 'no bags' when online shopping and then they deliver all the frozen stuff in plastic bags??

Nancan and Jalima I recently opened one of those plastic envelopes to get out the plastic bag which you put old clothes etc into to be collected for charity. When I took out the bag it collapsed into tiny pieces! Not a mouse but biodegradable bag!

It's good but it's still plastic even if it's in bits!
