| Notice the bin liner? |
In the controlled
environment of one’s home it is relatively easy to manage plastic consumption
but when out and about, especially with children, it can be near impossible.
Gia got herself worked in
to a medium-sized, dehydration-fuelled,
emotional meltdown after kindy this afternoon. The best cure is calmness on my
part, a gentle hug if she’ll take it, and a Slurpee on the ride home (or water
if it happens before we leave kindy). Now this will only mean something to those
Slurpee aficionados amongst you: the fine texture and coldness of the Slurpee
mush was top quality, so I poured one for me too; Gia
does not like to share. Two plastic straws - BAM!
I have an idea of compiling
scenes from old movies that show examples of how our parents and grandparents
used to live without plastic, in ways that we can apply today. For example, in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, there’s a scene
in which Audrey Hepburn is in her kitchen talking to her cat and incidentally
we see her line her rubbish bin with paper, I remember my mum doing this.
If you have seen an example
from the movies and can recall where, please share with me. I’ll upload a video
compilation at a later date.
