Man clearing rivers by paddle boarding made a very patronising comment on BBC Look North on Saturday 16.2.19 about older people not appreciating the importance if recycling. This is very offensive to the 'make do and mend' generation who found uses for all their leftovers etc. A large proportion of today's generation throw down their plastic bottles, crisp packets etc for someone else to deal with. Most older people have grandchildren and they are well aware of the need for recycling and saving the planet.
