A bit O.T. but I always wondered why we are not supposed to put
enveloppes
in the paper recycling containers. The only reason I can think of is the
glue on them, but surely a glossy magazine contains as much as an
enveloppe?

Many thanks

Our council says it's the adhesive - perhaps there are different types.

I'm a bit wary what goes into my compost bin now. There are so many
carcinogenic or toxic chemicals used in manufacturing. As the years go by,
more and more chemicals are found to be harmful even in trace quantities.

The trouble is that if you look for almost ANY chemical in almsot ANY item,
including food, you'll find it. That leads to banning of things which have
always had such traces in them and cause no harm.

We can't protect ourselves 100%, wwhy even the air is full of nasties.
