I have just bought the June issue of Marie Claire. You asked for comments on the eco-friendly bag, well, full marks. Much better than all that plastic that's usually wrapped around magazines (and everything else) these days. As usual the features were great reading and I now feel truly guilty for my wasteful lifestyle. But hey, hang on a minute. I recycle as much as I can, I buy organic meat and try to purchase vegetables that are grown in the UK. I always buy fairtrade bananas and use the eco wash on the machine. I turn lights and plug sockets off when not in use and re-use, rather than abuse, the plastic bags in the supermarket. When I list it like this, it sounds much more like I am doing my bit. However, the report may still come back, "could do better", yet I notice that if I want my wardrobe to be ecologically, ethically and environmentally friendly I have to have the bank balance of a Russian oligarch. And there's the rub. Many of those that can, rarely do, or do if it's a freebie for a photoshoot. Those of us who try to do our bit, always feel as if we should do more.
I will try to do more and I know many people, rich and poor, do their bit quietly and without fuss. It's great that famous faces will promote these issues, better still if big businesses and supermarkets get involved, but let's have some encouragement for the little guy and a mark for effort.
