Plastic is on my mind at the moment as I find it discarded in my beautiful environment almost every day. It is fantastic that you are spreading the message to eliminate them where you can. Here is my post.

Hi Debbie.. it is surprising where you find plastic… it wasn’t until I looked at my artificial flowers did I realise how much plastic was used in them. Great topic and photos Debbie. Here is my submission for this challenge. Sorry for being so late on in this challenge. http://brashley.photography/2020/01/30/one-word-sunday-plastic/

Late is never a problem.
And yes, plastic is. It was an amazing innovation that brought so many practical improvements to our lives and it has taken a long time to discover the damage it causes. It is the hidden use that is most worrying. Most of us are cutting back in the obvious plastic bottles and carrier bags but things like plastic in tea bags are harder to understand and remember.

It is surprising what is covered in plastic now… I can’t understand the likes of some cucumbers being in plastic. And some food containers you can’t even recycle. There really does need to be a radical change in our use of plastics.

Finally I got here – because of internet connection:) I’m contemplation changing blog backgrounds because of this.
Am glad your indignant post fits with mine (it takes some courage at wordpress to be “off” color! Had already the comment of a host, that I had to keep in mind that the challenge I linked to, was to be meant fun, friendly, light hearted, etc. Well, some things just aren’t!) so, good for you to this opinion in yourpost!

Something we all have to come to terms with – we are killing our planet. And we all have to make our own contributions to improvement.

I agree entirely. An irony is that my town has banned plastic bags from grocery stores and restaurants, yet the town requires that large plastic bags must be used for weekly trash collection instead of bins. So much hypocrisy and waste. Best, Babsje

In some strange coincidence I changed my plans for the challenge and now my take on plastic also involves bottles and waste.

Well spotted! They do look a bit too happy, given the subject, but that must have been because of the attention – you and your big lens!! Mine is on the same theme: https://suejudd.com/2020/01/26/plastic/

Yes, they are regular protesters – you’ll often see them around. And yes, they were posing for the shot – of several photographers, in fact, as this was on post-election day.

The plight of plastic could easily be an entry in Becky’s “…light” challenge. Those protesters seem pretty happy about the issue – or possibly the attention.

You’re right, Elke. Plight and plastic go well together.
I think they were very pleased to get the attention – I was with a group of photographers walking around Westminster in the morning after the last election
