Colm O'Regan: If you have the money, try to refill and reuse

Plastic is miraculous. It’s transformed the world. Isn’t it a shame to only use it once?

Warning: this may contain traces of advice that doesn’t apply to you now/yet/any more. Ignore if not applicable rather than get REALLY ANGRY about it.

I say this because I know what I’m like. I get cross when columns have tips that don’t apply to me. I saw an energy saving tips list recently that said: Get an Electric Car. Which is like: “Tips on flying: #6 Get wings.” But the tip was not incorrect. It just didn’t apply to me right now. So I shoved the crossness deep down where I keep all the other emotion.
