Reduce Packaging
Pressure increased recently on British supermarkets and retailers to reduce packaging as part of an anti-waste campaign.【46】______ Britain generates 4.6 million tons of household waste every year by packaging.
Dozens of people have expressed anger at the excess of plastic wrapping. Campaigners have called on Britain to learn from other European countries. 【47】______ When returned bottles are put in a vending machine(自动售货机), the deposit is refunded. Environmentalists warn that Britain lags behind in this.
