I'm back on the freelancing wagon and as part of that I'm writing some content on plastic and plastic packaging. I'd really like to know your opinion on plastics since the BBC broadcast Blue Planet II (the final episode with plastic in the oceans). There is a pint / cuppa in it for you next time we meet if you answer any of these questions:
1) How did you feel after Blue Planet II (you know the episode) aired?
2) What do you think has changed since then?
3) Anything else to add?
Thank you!

At last! A balanced take on plastics packaging and recycling on the UK's BBC Radio4 last night. Contains bits of the funniest song you will ever hear about recycling (possibly nsfw?) and one of the experts might seem familiar.....

Comedian Jon Long and Biologist Gillian Burke tackle green issues in a new enviro-comedy.

Another between lockdowns snap. Got real ale from Woodfordes brewery tap in reusable containers. Two more reusable containers here - old b**r barrels repurposed as a till area
