Our real environmental disaster, I have always suspected, may be that we are surrounded by plastic - check out the link above. I’ve re-written and reposted this btw.
I’m sure this issue is just the tip of the iceberg - and as I intimated in my eco-rant on the old Blogger blog, it’s not really the things we are all encouraged to do - like turn off the TV instead of leaving in on standby, or bicycle to work - that are going to make a difference. Imagine we all got up tomorrow morning and decided not to buy any more plastic. It’s doable… no one would die of it… I might have to spend a fair few notes on surgery so that I don’t have to buy contact lenses any more… but I’m pretty sure we could do it. The fluffy bunny lovers are going to hate this ;) but I suspect that wearing leather and fur is a bit more environmentally friendly than PVC, PE and even the most organic of cotton.
