It never fails to astound me how
wasteful people are, whilst seemingly remaining completely oblivious of this
fact.
No more are the majority of the
public prepared to ‘make do and mend’, or even it seems, bother cleaning items
when you can just buy new!
These 3 deep
glass (soufflé?) dishes were spied abandoned by the side of a glass bottle bank one night when
I was out with the Doctor and some friends.
After discussion in the pub we all agreed it was worth a closer look-
were they actually cracked, broken and knackered or just in need of a damn good
clean? Well as you can see – there’s
nothing wrong with them! They were caked
in baked on oil, as you get when using glass or ceramic for roasting, but all
they needed was a good going at with the scouring pad and hey presto – approx £25-30
worth of glassware for nuppence bar some elbow grease. What is wrong with these people??!
Just yesterday I spied this big ‘bag
for life’ dumped half way round the local Aldi. 'Oh no (heavy sarcasm)
On another note can we afford to be
so cavalier with our resources that it’s ok to throw such items away? And can we assume that there’s an infinite
amount of space in landfill for them all?
Worth a thought, surely?
Ezekiel was just as non-plussed as me - at me using 'his' garden for taking photographs in!

That's good! We can't put clothes in ours nor glass, but everything else is ok. I often see big bits of wood etc that have been dumped that would be so useful but there's a limit to what I can carry without a car...
