On the phone-in Stephen Jardine asks, Who’s responsibility should recycling be?

On the phone-in Stephen Jardine asks, Who’s responsibility should recycling be? Also on the show, pet bereavement, travelling with a disability and what to eat in the heat.

PHONE-IN: 
The organisers of Britain's biggest ever survey of household plastic waste have called for immediate action to tackle what they say are "jaw-dropping" findings. 
The Big Plastic Count was run across a week in May and its results show that the average participating household threw away 66 pieces of plastic in a week. Those taking part in the survey were asked not just to count the number of pieces but also to record which type of plastic they used. Of the plastic, 83% was from food and drink packaging waste, with the most common items being fruit and vegetable packaging.
Using those figures the organisers, Greenpeace and Everyday Plastic, estimate that the UK throws out nearly 100 billion pieces of plastic a year.

Stephen asks - Who’s responsibility should recycling be? And how easy is it to recycle?
