Letter: Wrap it up

Published 16 June 2001

From Jane Giffould

Why is Rod Kebble thinking of disposing of the plastic covers in which his
New Scientist supplement arrived
(26 May, p 61)?
Why not be environmentally friendly and reuse it?

Magazine wrappers are the basis of my filing system, along with used A4
envelopes and cereal boxes. They can also be chopped into pieces to serve as
covers for the yogurt pots I use as glue containers in class. They have myriad
uses. Rod could try and find out 100 ways to reuse New Scientist plastic
bags.
