What's the point of temporarily banning disposable BBQs when we know they'll be back on the shelves as soon as the heatwave passes, I mean it's just common sense to get rid of them for good.
We need to stop this stop-start approach to environmental policy and take a hard look at our whole disposable culture. I've seen it in the school playgrounds, the amount of waste generated by single-use everything is staggering, and it's not just the kids, it's the parents too, we're all guilty of it.
My allotment's been a lifeline for me since I retired, and I've seen how a bit of care and attention can make all the difference, but it's not just about nurturing plants, it's about nurturing a sense of responsibility, and that's what's lacking when it comes to our throwaway society.
