Big Plastic Count

I completed my week's Big Plastic Count data for this year -- to my surprise it was actually one item fewer than in 2022 (12 items as versus 13), despite the fact that it was not a very representative week in terms of the amount of plastic waste generated.

During the count period I happened to get given a fair few plastic-packaged items of food by other people to use up, including a packet of crisps, a plastic pint bottle of milk on the turn, and two plastic packages of fresh herbs, none of which would have featured in a normal week! I also succumbed to the lure of massively-reduced supermarket vegetables on the bargain aisle (rhubarb for 63p instead of over £2 unpackaged at the greengrocer's) and ended up finishing those during the count period....
