This is evidenced by a large study by the University of Nottingham Business School, The Guardian reports. An analysis of nearly 1.3 million transactions showed that plastic bags are mostly […]
The New Year and Christmas holidays are perhaps the most waste-generating period of the year. Shops, shop windows, streets, offices, entrances and, of course, apartments are decorated… maybe, too much decorated by the unnecessary things? Let’s make it clear, reading the Sher.media article.
