Sorting household recycling

1:10

All the usual things that we recycle here in the UK. What about you?

1:10

Yeah, I do what I'm supposed to do.

1:12

So, we have a separate bin for different things –

1:16

for plastic and for glass and for paper and for food.

1:20

Yeah.

1:21

When I was a kid, everything went in the same bin.

1:23

Really?

1:24

Yeah.

1:25

And now that seems really crazy and really bad.

1:30

Yeah.

1:31

So, I think we are better now at dealing with waste,

1:36

but probably there's more things we could do.

1:39

Yeah, I would think so. Yeah.

1:41

Something that I do as well in... is when I'm in a supermarket,

1:45

I try to not buy fruit and veg that's wrapped in plastic.

1:50

I'll always try and buy the individual products like apples on their own,

1:56

or, you know, a courgette.

1:57

You don't need a courgette that's wrapped in plastic.

2:00

Well, that's a good idea,

2:01

but sometimes it's actually quite difficult to find things

2:05

that aren't covered in plastic because we rely on plastic so much.

2:10

Yeah, I know that is true.

2:12

You know what people do these days,

2:15

which is great, that they didn't used to do? Carry reusable water bottles.

2:21

That's true.
