Morrisons and Green Initiative

I was interested to see on Mondays show that Morrisons was absent in the line-up for supermarket green initiatives.
Could GLF and viewers write and ask Morrisons why they are the only supermarket NOT to have any recycling information on the packaging of their own brand lines. I have yet to find even 1 recycling symbol on a Morrisons own brand product. WHY?
It would appear that they are way behind other supermarkets.
Another bone of contention for me is that the symbols used which we all take to mean the packaging can be recycled can mean one of two things. Either the packaging can be recycled OR the packaging has been made from recycled materials. In the case of the latter, these may or may not be recycled again.
Come on manufacturers and supermarkets - follow the lead set by Waitrose who give great detail about the recycling on their packaging.

We need clear information, used by ALL food suppliers which should end confusion and encourage us all to recycle more.

On a different note, my partner has IBS and cannot tolerate diary products, spicy foods and products with oil.
Jenni and viewers, please can you help. We watch the show nearly every day and lots of recipes seem to have chilli or spices, dairy products, or have oil used either in the recipe or for cooking. All of these cause trouble and result in boring meals here so any interesting recipes avoiding these things would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Jonathan (and Jay)
