Love Letters
Dear fellow bloggers,
I have been boycotting plastic and sourcing sustainable alternatives and blogging about it for ages now.
While doing so I have met loads of lovely people. But now I need to update my blog roll.
I would love to do kind of who’s who in the plastic refusenik, zero trash, and dumper diving world. If you could be bothered to send me a brief description– say a paragraph – about your waste free projects, aims and achievements, I would be so very happy to feature you.
I don’t want to write it myself in case I miss the best bits or misrepresent you.
Images to illustrate the above also gratefully accepted.

So in 2007 we began to boycott stupid and unnecessary plastic products and source biodegradable alternatives.

Pam
I sent you my bio on plasticisrubbish@yahoo.com. But it was returned saying that account doesn’t exist? If I open that link too, all it is, is the Yahoo home page. I can’t post from there, as I am not a member. Have you any other address?

So I’ll send it to you here:
I’ve been aware of the dangers posed by plastic to the environment for a while now. But it was whilst watching a video clip which showed graphically the effects the stuff is having in our oceans, that inspired me to create a blog. Of course, like many people who, once they become aware that there previous actions were causing adverse effects in the environment, I found that one small action wasn’t enough. Just ending our reliance on plastic bags was seem . Seeing images of dead seabirds, with stomachs full of every sort of plastic imaginable, made me determined to do as much as I could. Now my partner Helen and I, try to live a life, that is as plastic free as we can get it. At the present time, this is almost an impossibility, I drive a car made of plastic, I live in a house and have a garden where plastic gadgets are in use all of the time. But we do what we can and have almost no waste now. Our local council are one of the betters ones for waste disposal, and take all plastic bottles as well as plastics showing two of the codes, for recycling. Any other plastics we have, we send to a firm in Portsmouth who recycle it
We won’t rid the earth of plastic over night, but we can make our voices heard, so those who produce this highly versatile yet dangerous material, may begin to question the logic of manufacturing a product that takes hundreds of years to break down and which is filling our rivers, oceans, and fields with its detritus, causing millions of wild creatures to suffer painful deaths. We can but try to lessen our dependency on the stuff!
