I've seen great examples of supermarkets taking back empty drink bottles (plastic) after use. You pay 20P on top of the price of your bottle of choice and the 20P is refunded when you return the bottles to the same shop. I'd LOVE to see that in the UK.

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
They're coming in for so much criticism when it comes to breaking up local communities and creating these out-of-town shopping centres. It would be great if they took the lead in this kind of carrot-and-stick, low-level recycling.

Interestingly, I just came across this Guardian.co.uk article about Supermarkets and their approach to all things green:
http://lifeandhealth.guardian.co.uk/ethicallivi...
"Tesco, apparently alarmed by public antipathy towards its general monstrosity and vast profits, is to unveil a 'community plan' and has already installed sun-pipes and a wind turbine at its new store in Diss, Norfolk."
Bless, they're getting there..
