As in, i’m sorry about the lack of blogging.
I am currently knee deep in the good old revision, in an attempt to come out with something resembling a degree. It’s been a long tunnel, but i’m finally starting to see the light!
In other news, i went to Dublin recently. Plastic bags are banned (I think) in Ireland, so everything came in recycled paper bags etc. This was absolutely brilliant i thought, until we visited the off license. I bought a cheap bottle of red wine and they put it on a brown paper bag. Carrying this back to the house together with my unkempt hairstyle made me look like a hobo.
In all seriousness, i couldn’t believe how clean the streets and waterways were. No plastic bags = less blockages in the sewage treatment process, less visual pollution, and less animals (especially marine mammals) dying of plastic ingestion.
Why aren’t we doing that here?
