UK keeps up the pressure on wasteful packaging

The Independent started an awareness campaign earlier this year and the British public has rallied around the cause. Politicians everywhere tend to lag behind the public but now over 100 British MPs (Members of Parliament) have signed on to a motion to move this along under the law. As an outsider looking in, it's impressive to see so much green activity in the UK and the model that is working comes from consumer demand who are prompting retailers to act now or be forced later. This is in stark contrast to so many US companies who fight environmental change and smear environmentalists.

This says a lot about the British public and their ability to be level headed and build a consensus for the benefit of society both in the UK and the world. To me, that's pretty damned impressive.
