The Anti-Plastic Brigade
There is a popular hippie-type culture arising in the UK to disparage all things plastic, especially packaging. Sadly, those signing up to this think that there is only one type of "plastic" and therefore it's all bad for the environment so should be eliminated.
I have a couple of cousins who boast that they're eliminating plastic from their lives as one kind of packaging per week. Naturally what they haven't considered is how much plastic, and of how many types, are already in their lives and what happens when they are due for disposal. I'm at pains to point out that often their false teeth (prosthetics) are plastic, often acrylic and would they like wooden or porcelain teeth instead? It doesn't always go down well!
I wish some people would come back and live in the real world and consider things more fully but isn't that always the case?
