Plastic Fantastic

Maybe it is a coincidence and your experience may differ, but every scrap of wrapping and packaging from our IKEA shopping trip was recyclable! I call that bloody impressive!

If only I hadn't checked the internet to see which of my favourite retailers had unblemished ethical records, I would be sleeping easy tonight. As it is I have had a few nasty surprises. It seems that many companies have difficulties guaranteeing ideal environmental and human providence of their products.

Perhaps I should sign up for those evening courses I have been idly perusing and start to make my own furniture, clothing and household goods from recycled or natural materials? This seems to be the only way I can guarantee that they are environmentally friendly, and do not involve exploitation of anyone or any where? If only I had the time and the skill!
