Recycling crisis: Taxpayers foot the bill for UK's growing waste paper mountain as market collapses | Mail Online
Taxpayers are facing a multi-million-pound bill to store 100,000 tons of waste paper and cardboard as the British recycling industry plunges into crisis.

PM still using carrier bags he vowed to scrap

Gordon Brown still uses plastic carrier bags for his weekly supermarket shop despite pledging to eliminate them.

The Prime Minister has now revealed in an interview that he and his wife Sarah often order through supermarket websites and receive ‘a lot of unnecessary packaging and plastic bags’.
