I'm sorry Scotland & Wales you've gone power mad, I understand charging for plastic bags but paper bags, really.
A very short ride this morning as I got a flat tire for the first time in more than a year.
Actually the first time with my #gravelbike. It's on tubeless and I use very good tires but this one didn't resist a small sharp piece of glass... And of course, as I am a very intelligent bikerider I didn't have the tools to fix it!! 🤔
Anyway. I walked back home and still enjoyed the blue sky, the birds singing, the little flowers and the white plastic bags living in the green grass.

Beach Architecture 1
brooch, 2019
driftwood, plastic bags, mechanism from stainless steel
Beaches all over the world are not made up only of sand and stone, but also plastic. Slowly our waste streams have become visible: how they are influencing our environment and our very bodies, constantly and quietly, changing the composition of the world around us just a little at a time, until they are in our very bloodstream. We are intertwined with them, our civilization inescapably connected to our waste.
