BELOW is a letter written to the County Council in response to their information on food waste: Thank you for your info on food waste, (a stapled four sided card booklet)!

I was brought up at the end and after the Second World War, so I never ever waste food.

On the other hand, the council does waste an awful lot of paper. Your information just for starters, bilingual, and this part of Pembrokeshire is “Little England Beyond Wales”.

I’d like you to show me someone who doesn’t speak English in these parts, unless they are immigrants. Okay, paper can be recycled too, but that doesn’t cover the cost of printing etc. As I said, growing up after the war, a scrap of paper 3x4 inches was precious to me, as I loved to draw.

Not so today, notepads with one line scribbled on a page and it is trashed, and a new sheet started.

Educate the young and those on benefits. You see a massive waste of food in restaurants, newspapers hardly read, junk mail, straight into the recycling , and out of date food, with a little common sense, need not be wasted.

“Easy come, easy go!”

I worked in a Naval Tailors and even the scraps of material cut from pocket edges and so on, were saved and recycled.

Why can’t the council do what some private firms are doing with unwanted clothing and scraps?

The Winsell tip is good and a credit to the county council, but please consider the waste paper situation over all.
