I've owned up to recycling Royal Mail elastic bands.
I thought I was doing the environment a favour but I discovered today that it's not the big favour I thought it was.
I bumped into a postwoman today and we started talking rubber. Apparently the red rubber bands aren't as good as their predecessors in terms of performance and longevity, but there's a reason. The red rubber bands one sees discarded everywhere are biodegradable.
One learns something new every day.
