The timing couldn’t be more perfect. People are looking around for something to resolve as New Years Day approaches.

On closer inspection, it seems that her experiment is not as inspirational as I had hoped it would be. I still loved reading it, and the minutia of her failure effectively highlights how ridiculously ubiquitous plastic has become. Sorry I can’t help but use really big words when I think a real journalist might read my blog :)
