PC _is_ grey goo!

On the subject of plastic waste, many of the fields around here are
covered in polythene sheet ATM. From a distance they look like sheets
of water, until you realise they're not horizontal. They are there to
cover rows of potatoes, to warm the soil and bring them on early, to
compete with 'new' potatoes from Egypt and Malta.

After harvesting the spuds in the Summer, the poly sheet is now dirty
with soil etc. and the farmer has to pay for it to be recycled, as it
has to be washed, and that's expensive. It's usually just bundled up
and dumped in the corner of a field, sometimes set fire to on a still
Summer's evening

at the weekend by "bloody kids" perchance?
