Would it have been too much for Fonterra to consider the environmental impact of giving away milk in tetra-paks. In the distant past, the "milk in schools" scheme handed out milk in recyclable glass bottles. The new scheme looks destined to encourage, in children at an impressionable age, an acceptance of produce that is unnecessarily packaged in throw-away containers. It is also likely to create a dilemma for school staff and management that, on one hand, may not wish to appear ungrateful but, on the other hand, might prefer to instil a recycling ethic in their pupils and instead have to deal with a colossal amount of waste.
