Samosas

I am at my local Indian takeaway waiting for my samosas. They thought it was strange that I requested them to only be in a paper bag. "We usually put them on a chip tray", they said, pointing to the polystyrene tray (the item of rubbish I currently most hate). 
"Just the paper bag will be fine", I said, explaining that I don't want anything non-recyclable. 
Once again I get the feeling someone thinks I'm crazy. 
As I sit waiting, enjoying the smell of the spices frying, I wonder: 
Is it really so crazy to choose NOT  to use something for approximately 5 minutes that will end up in landfill and not decompose for approximately 1000 years?

    Hello Chayo and Topsy

    fantiastic!! We try hard, but today I went to the supermarket and forgot my cloth bag - DOH. So ended up with 2 plastic bags to add to the 10 or so we already have. Have a wonderful waste free month, will enjoy reading how it goes. Love
