I've got a little booklet by Nicky someone...same person who wrote the composting for all leaflet.
It snot got all the recipes and stuff in it, but it does have excellent tips for recycle, reuse and reduce.

The plastics is quite interesting. Apparently, in the UK, you can send the plastic covering that magazines sometimes come in to a company who reuse them! It also says that in Germany, people have started leaving packaging at supermarkets to make them reuse/recycle it! Sounds like a good plan.
