The Blog is shocked to see that our own ground-breaking article on "Living without polypropylene for a week - Cold Turkey" by Andy Brice in ICIS Chemical Business on 19 May 2008 has been the subject of an "homage" today by a reporter on the BBC website and turned into "A Month without Plastic".
As Andy points out, she only goes without buying new plastics, so she still gets to use her phone, her computer, her car and all the accessories of modern life. Still, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ...
I totally agree with you.
Andy did the piece way before anyone else did and did it without cheating. We can all live with items that we have already purchased.
However, if she had said she would give up plastic completely for a month then surely she would have got a month of work. She missed a trick there.
