'The government told us to do it'

This is a bit of a hoot. Several reporters visit supermarkets to experiment with removing excess packaging in order to leave it at the checkout counter as per government ministerial recommendations. Unsurprisingly, the reaction isn't as green and rosy as the supermarket PR would have had us believe. Read it, it's great fun.
