First Recycling Tip! Reuse those Fish Bags :)

Reuse what you say? Ok let me explain :) Here in the UK when you buy a box of frozen fish, you'll usually find that the fish is kept inside a plastic bag inside the cardboard box. Now I was making my sarnies for work the other day and was about to roll out a big chunk of cling film when I saw the "fish bag" on the work top. It suddenly hit me that if I washed the bag out I could use it to hold my sarnies in the lunch box. Pretty nifty! That way I wouldn't need to use any cling film at all.

So why is this a good thing? Well it means using less cling film which means buying less of it which in turn means there's less of it going in the bin. And of course it will save you some money to in the long term. Plus it also means making use of something, i.e. the plastic bag which would otherwise have gone in the bin also.

Do you think this is a good recycling tip? Why not give it a try next time you make your sarnies :)
