IT’S HARDLY A shocking statistic that many of us overeat on Christmas Day – 40% told a Repak recycling survey that they will eat double their normal dinner portions tomorrow.
We could do with a bit of inspiration around leftovers though – over 50% of respondents to the same survey said they dump the food waste in the bin.
What would happen if we recycled or reused everything that we consumed over Christmas, not just food? Repak totted up the numbers:
Over Christmas, we will use…
In general, according to Repak, we use 25% more packaging at Christmas than at other times of the year.
They have some tips to eliminating the waste, and saving the guilt for how many Roses you get through in one sitting instead…
Since 1997, recycling has diverted 7.7 million tonnes of used packaging from landfill – we are now ranked second in the EU28 countries for recycling packaging.

I hope the Dog is ok???.
I presume he was given a Tetanus shot after biting them $cum….
That’s what these dogs are trained to do in unruly situations. Protecting their handlers is a natural instinct and to do the job that they are trained to do.
I hope that the dog isn’t punished and put down or carted off to some unknown place and used as a ‘guard dog’ to patrol some dump!
‘ Atta Boy….good doggie. LOL .
Ruff day at the office
Bite first…. Ask questions later….!
Imagine what the poor staff are subjected to on occasions like that reported. Maybe they should all be issued with a police dog?
People in the south don’t know how lucky they are not having to deal with thousands of these marches every year. Fascist nutjobs and their pisshead hangers on cause chaos everywhere they go and everyone has to put up with it because it’s supposed to be traditional. These people are less than 10% of the population but they hold everyone else hostage. Total joke!
Flegs and marches and buckfast and drugs. Sure it’s their TRADITION!!!
‘Dog bites man’, not a story. ‘Man bites dog’, now that would be a story…
“Man bites dog” is a film…… dark dark film
Incidentally the media are not mentioning that yesterday was the ‘start’ of the marching season, so thousands of drunken loyalists were probably roaming the streets. And I love when they say the start of the season as if we ever get even a month’s break from the drivel.
Is the incident out on video yet ? Its always so disappointing when you see police dogs in action on TV and they aren’t allowed to bite the bum off a crim.
A snap decision, I presume!
The only real question is were those bitten taking part in the disorder or just caught up at the start and hadn’t time or opportunity to get away. If first then good, it’s not a news item. If the latter then possibly questions should be asked ref the control the handler had on his/her dog.
Be very surprised if they were innocent as generally muzzles don’t come off until its clear that innocents are cleat and dogs are kept close to the handler and a distance away.
II hope they sue the police for damages.
have your say
