To be really annoyed by M&S’s LittleShop?

It’s such a waste of plastic and the cardboard shop costs £10!

No one needs this and it’s such a waste.

M&S say you can return the plastic toys in store to be recycled into playground toys, but that will ultimately end up in landfill presumably. And it assumes all items are returned for recycling, which with the best will in the world is overly optimistic.

You receive a collectible for each £20 spent, there are 25 items to collect. So you will need to spend at least £500 to get them all!

When the World is unable to safely dispose of the plastic we have created already, we don’t need more. Poor show M&S!!

All or nothing.
Quote whereI say all or nothing and I'll give in.

Give in to what?

Me: By all means petition against M&S (and practically every big corporate chain) and their crappy fake eco policies/ hypocrisy and massive carbon footprint but petition against all of it - look at what these places sell... most of their products will end up in landfill at some point and /or are unnecessary, unneeded. Really.

Yes! Be up in arms about the WHOLE industry- not just a small part of it!

Pumper Give in to your argument!

What argument?! That it’s not hypocritical to sign a petition even though you shop at M&S? That it’s not hypocritical to do your best and not be perfect but still try?

Oh god, I don’t even care. I’ve spent all day waiting for appointments today and I’ve been on my phone so long my eyes are sore. This tat-for-tat non-debate is ridiculous, I think I’m going to hide the thread. Best of luck to you WhiteDust and your recycling

Honestly Pumper for my own sanity I'm going to step away from this debate/argument (whatever you would like to call it* I'm not following your train of thought and can't understand your interpretation of what I've said.
This conversation is jumping around all over the place. Sorry!

I'm waiting for better packaging for percy pigs and other sweets. So wasteful.

as an aside a woman on radio london was talking about this.

she thought they were giving away small samples and opened the little cheese to find a piece of foam

I think a lot of us are just realising how unnecessary a lot of stuff we buy is. It's ingrained into our culture to want to buy stuff. But it's harmful and needs to stop. We all have too much.
M&S have timed this promotion appallingly badly as the population is just waking up to the problems of plastic overproduction.

gotmychocolateimgood I agree that the timing is bad, especially with Blue Planet and War on Plastic showing us the environmental damage caused by our over consumption of plastic.

For anyone annoyed with M&S for running this plastic promotion please sign our petition [[http://chng.it/qxGNBJ7Z ]]

Arf at opening the little package expecting to have a nibble . You can see why she was confused, being handed a tiny replica cheese

Very late to this thread and very late becoming aware of this promotion but I just watched the advert linked above

which is hilarious in a very wrong way. It features Louis Spence dancing like a maniac.

You can't buy what he's on at M&S sadly

which once you've watched it makes it even more hilarious.
