Here’s an article about a woman who has vowed not to buy any plastic for a month – so no, yoghurt, bread or fruit in bags, chinese takeaways, bottled water or other drinks, milk in bottled (wonder what she’s doing about Tetrapak) etc.

Of course, like all these things, it’s not as simple as it at first appears.  Plastic cuts down waste by preserving food, by protecting it during transportation, etc.  But anything that helps to reduce the ridiculous amount of packaging we are almost forced to buy seems to me to be A Good Thing.

Christine Jeavons will be blogging about her month.
