Yesterday Was Mid Summer's Day though you could be forgiven for not noticing that it was even summer when you see this view of Torquay Harbour. Dull, overcast all day long. Much better today. The other thing that happens on Mid Summer's Day is I take a photo of a plastic bag. Not just any plastic bag though there are trillions of them to choose from. The plastic bag I photograph has been hanging on the washing line in the back garden since Blog Action Day last year. I put it there intending to photograph it every 3 months to show how long plastic bags last and the harm they are doing to the environment. It expected it to last for ever. We had some strong winds down here a couple of months ago and as you can see I have discovered a way of getting rid of plastic bags.
All you have to do is hang all your plastic bags on the washing line and leave them there. However as there are trillions of them we would need a washing line going round the world about fifteen times which is not the most practical solution to a problem I have ever come up with.Here is a better idea. Don't us plastic bags. Buy a green bag and use that instead.
Come back in 3 months to see how the remains of this bag are going on.

All that has happened there, is bits of plastic have become weak and detached. Bits of that plastic bag still exist somewhere.
A little while ago, Co op stopped purchasing plastic bags. Unsuspecting shoppers with £100 of food were told to spend another £10 on cotton bags to take their stuff home.
