Are plastics a bad thing?
Futures Forum: Is 'plastic free' a stretch too far?... There are clever ways to use and deal with plastic waste.
Futures Forum: Plastic: can you live without it?
Futures Forum: "Plastic's bad reputation is not always borne out by the facts. Just because a brown cardboard box looks greener than plastic, that doesn't mean it is."

A veteran campaigner and writer is speaking next week on the issues: should be interesting: 

HAVE THE PUBLIC GONE BONKERS ABOUT PLASTICS?


Friday, 3rd May      
Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis, Dorset      
7.00 – 8.45pm
Tickets £8 (concessions available)  Book online

Julia Hailes MBE  will give a very thought-provoking talk.   

Pictures of turtles with straws up their nostrils and an albatross chick regurgitating a toothbrush have been key in galvanising public attention to the very real problem of ocean plastics. 

So, you may be surprised to hear that plastics are often the best environmental option, in particular by saving energy and tackling climate change. 

Julia Hailes is a sustainability pioneer with over 30 years in the green sector. She’s a campaigner, writer, speaker and consultant, who has written nine environmental books, including The Green Consumer Guide, which sold over 1 million copies. 

She will talk about how humans have become the most wasteful species on the planet and what we should be doing about it. Some of her conclusions may surprise you.
