WHILE reading the letter from Sara Goodhead about keeping our rubbish in check (May 21), I was disturbed by her lack of understanding that wrapping food waste before putting it into the bin is in itself causing a huge problem.
Plastic carrier bags take up to 1,000 years to decay and accumulate in the landfill sites because of this.
Does she have any helpful advice on how to wrap waste without using plastic?
