My month WITHOUT PLASTIC
When I resolved to go plastic free for a month, I never expected to end up elbow deep in my dustbin. Yet doing a ‘bin audit’ – when you check what plastic waste you throw away – is a great way to discover which single-use plastics your family use most.
Plastic is essentially indestructible, which means, for example, that every plastic toothbrush you’ve ever used still exists. Distressing programmes, such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s and David Attenborough’s have both highlighted the resulting environmental damage.
