The crux of this is that some human generated chemical bonds are resistant to being broken down by microbes and harsh saltwater conditions. Thus Nature cannot do what it is very good at doing and recycle and reuse everything on the planet (and the universe for that matter) down to the last molecule while we continue to thrust our man made products into landfill that then seeps into all areas of the environment.

Japanese scientists have been working on plant cellulose to make plastic packaging that can be broken down and I suppose to the layperson seems more natural.

So where does this leave us, basically we have too much packaging , and no matter how much we want to play around with the chemistry of packaging, what we really need is much less of it and we need to change our approach to having products on demand and one off use. Why not have a centre or a shop for bulk products that we can weigh and measure what we need.

We don’t want to spend the time doing this , convenience is king, when indeed will we have the time?

On March the 17th this year a new visionary electric steam train is being launched in Essex’s Audley’s End Enchanted Garden. The ride mimics an actual steam train , sounds and steam and all without the environmental impact of burning coal and boiling vapour.

Visitors will be able to enjoy a ride around the Spring Gardens in full bloom with bluebells and tulips while gazing from the authentic but brand new train called the “Steamless Revolution.” Sounds a nice day out.

Congratulations to all for celebrating the staple of many family dinner take- aways in the UK. If you have a good “Chippy” near you , you are very lucky.

Tasty , Crispy, light batter is very important and I can tell if the oil in the oil fryers is not changed regularly. Not sure I really want beef gravy with fish (sounds a bit overkill). In my youth it would have been curry sauce with chips , but now I love a home made tartar sauce which I can get down in Cornwall when the mobile fish and chip shop visits our Camping site. There’s something very special about a fish and chip shop coming to you.

Whatever way you look at it with the costs of running any food business any take-away is costly and so naturally price does come into the equation , particularly when you have a few mouths to feed. So it is still a modern day treat, not a staple.
