"I am giving up plastic for the whole of August.
By this I mean not buying or accepting anything which contains plastic or is packaged in plastic.
So, no take-away coffees, bottles of water or pre-packed sandwiches.
I'll be forsaking punnets of strawberries and packs of chicken, supermarket milk and bottled cleaning products, and switching to reusable nappies for my toddler.
No longer will my other half and I be able to slump in front of the telly of an evening with the latest DVD, a takeaway curry and a bottle of wine (the cork could be plastic).
Plums in punnets
It's no to any fruit packaged like this
I am, if you like, donning a polyester-free hairshirt - with the aim of seeing how possible it is to live without new plastic. "
I think this is an awesome feat and can't wait to check up on her progress at the end of the month.
