I was recently quite upset to read about a
Plastic Soup
twice the size of the US floating in the Pacific Ocean.
This vast expanse of debris is held in place by swirling
underwater currents and stretches from 500 nautical miles off the
Californian coast, across the northern Pacific, past Hawaii and
almost too Japan. It is believed that there is about 100 million
tons of trash in the region.
However, I was inspired by
one British woman who is now saying no to plastic packaging. So
I've decided to copy her. I am going to see how long I can go
without buying anything packaged in a non-recyclable or
non-biodegradable container.
