Lyrical writing Alice, beautiful. To help the planet we all need to stop buying new things as soon as something becomes worn or tired-looking. If you watched the programme about the container ship which blocked the Panama? canal and which showed the dozens of other container ships queueing to get through or turning to find another route you may have been as stunned as I was to realise how much 'stuff' is being transported across the oceans every day, all stuff that we have ordered . I guess some of it is vital for hospitals etc. but I am sure much of it is not necessary. The programme stated the number of container ships that make these trips every day, 200 I think, each carrying on average 15,000 containers. The largest ships carry more than 24,000.
