Chrismpw's letters from a festival

Not open for further replies.

Since all the woke people are here at this festival, doing their utmost to show inclusively by even giving horribly tone deaf singers a major stage, it goes without saying the environment opportunists are here peddling pseudo environment aware codswallop.

"Ditch your single use plastic bottles and buy our stainless steel flasks to drink from." People were flocking to the stalls because they're concerned, and well, everyone else was flocking too. .

This didn't seem right to me on a hunch, so I did a bit of research for the figures. Don't get me wrong, the bottled water fad angers me, especially as we're in a country with some of the cleanest and best monitored water on the planet - but to me this was and out comparing something single use (a trendy phrase) and something intended to be used repeatedly - which is a bit unfair for comparison.

"One stainless steel bottle is obviously much worse than one plastic bottle. Producing that 300-gram stainless steel bottle requires seven times as much fossil fuel, releases 14 times more greenhouse gases, demands the extraction of hundreds of times more metal resources and causes hundreds of times more toxic risk to people and ecosystems than making a 32-gram plastic bottle. If you’re planning to take only one drink in your life, buy plastic."

Kinda supported my hunch.

Taking in a band, I'm sat under the shade if a small beech tree, trying to look cool pirched on an uncomfortable shooting stick I got from a car boot sale. When I stood up to relieve my aching arse a branch whipped my glasses off and straight into a single use plastic pint of someone's beer.

Getting irritable now. I may be overtired.
