One my favorite things about reading blogs is that they are a window on the world. That being said, I have occasionally ended up at one of two ends of a particular brand of frustration. I try to blog about practical solutions to the problem of plastic, but sometimes these solutions can be difficult or impossible for people living outside of my local region to implement (in my case that’s about 100% of my readers). The situation also happens the other way around.
If you have arrived here looking for practical ways to reduce your consumption of plastic, I welcome you wholeheartedly and I promise that you will find lots of useful information. I can’t tell you where to pick up some cardboard packaged razor blades or bulk tea.
When I find the right widget, I plan to embed a little map displaying plastic-free blogs. Until then I can quickly link to blogs that would qualify as local for several million people:
- Fake Plastic Fish in California
- Low Plastic in Washington DC
- Life Less Plastic in Chicago
- PlasticlessNYC in New York
Many of the best solutions for the planet are local solutions.

Hey Martin; I just found this page – nothing like being a year or so late
We don’t focus solely on plastic, but on all landfill waste.
Needless to say, the only landfill waste we ended up with last year was unmarked plastic and composite material which amounted to around 100 litres, so you can add me to your list for the UK if you wish!
