Plastic Swap January: Reflections
Another Perspective From eXXpedition Leg Four; Plastic Swap January
Who am I now?
I was offered a plastic bottle of water on a flight today and without thinking, I looked back at the kind cabin attendant with a level of disgust that might indicate she had just offered me urine to drink. I was ashamed at my reaction. Of course, I apologised immediately and was surprised at where this deep reaction had come from. Only a few months ago, whilst I knew plastic wasn’t good for the environment, I confess, I was not particularly conscientious about not using single-use plastic. eXXpedition and my attempt at plastic swap January have instilled in me an environmental conscience or even sub conscience that I have never previously experienced.
Don’t get me wrong, I am still no angel but I have definitely made progress!
