why would you throw away crisps? that's just crazy & weird. there's absolutely nothing wrong with stale crisps - it's pretty much how I thought they *should* taste when I was growing up...
My neighbours throw out a heck of a lot - at least 5 bin bags a week. What, I don't know. We put out about 1/2 a bag a week - anything we don't eat either gets fed to the dogs or composted. And who the hell throws out UNOPENED chocolate??
....damn!this ''consumism''will kill as all at the end!...why unopened?because people are haveing a ''buying-disorder'',you buy 3 or 5,cause this is the discount,you arrive home,open one,constatate you dont like..so the rest of 4,out!Is a shame...Congratulations for your Green Blog!!
