We want household and leisure products that stand the test of time. The list is endless. Plastics can cater for all these things and more. Which is why the debate about plastic bags sometimes seems to me so… inconsequential. I’ve banged on about this before and I’ll bang on about it again. It’s all about the message. Maybe we should have a day, like St George's or St Patrick's, dedicated to the wonderment that is brought into our lives by our favourite material. What do you reckon? Many people don’t want to listen and don’t want to know that plastics give us the opportunities and the potential to make the world a better place, because in their minds plastic simply equates to the nasty, polluting, supermarket carrier bag. But I think they should be told, over and over again, what else it brings, until the message eventually sinks in. Don’t you?
