Why I’d rather go naked than use plastic

Since then I have joined a whole host of Indie businesses determined to ditch single use plastic. Bye bye, plastic greeting card protectors, the plastic sherbet straws I included with orders and most painfully, my signature shiny pink bubble wrap envelopes.

It's true that lots of plastics can be recycled, but all too often they end up in the bin, and isn't it better if these non-essential plastics hadn't ever been around to begin with?

Suddenly I became hyper aware of all the plastics I was consuming on a daily basis. I could no longer enjoy my meal deal salad because that useless plastic fork would haunt me, and why the hell do cucumbers come in shrink wrap anyway?! Things just got scarier and scarier!

The great thing though is that so many of my lovely customers (and people I randomly chat to Instagram) really care about this stuff too, which means if we take action we can make things a whole lot better for the planet.

My own personal mission is for my business to ditch all plastic packaging, and create sustainable plastic replacement products, like my famous rainbow metal straws.
