Fancy a refill old bean?

Thanks to blog reader and fellow tweeter Mrs B in York for some fabulous news that's hit the press today.

According to The Telegraph, as part of Hilary Benn's new war on waste, the government is considering plans to encourage shoppers to reuse containers in a bid to reduce the amount of packaging that ends up in landfill.

Now that's music to my ears. Perhaps I should take out some shares in Tupperware, while I've got the chance.

One thing's for sure, there'll be a few happy folk around here. Good to think that taking your containers to the supermarket will one day become the norm eh!
