Madam, - The current Government shock advert about Ireland's waste problem seems a little unbalanced. We are all encouraged to "Reduce - Reuse - Recycle" but I have heard nothing of the Government encouraging businesses to do likewise.
Indeed many companies use excessive packaging on their products which we, the customer, in the end must pay to dispose of.
The Government needs to create incentives for companies to use the minimum packaging required and use recycled/recyclable materials in their packaging. - Yours, etc.,
THOMAS SWEENEY, Horkans Hill, Westport, Co Mayo.
