Plastic, Fantastic, Inevitable



plasticbagdress.jpg We were walking by LUSH today, and one of their employees was outside.
She was dressed in about a hundred plastic bags, all pinned to her apron to form a very ugly dress, and she was screaming, “Turn in your bags! Turn in your bags!”
It’s too bad we were so creeped out, because it was an excellent idea:
Bring in your plastic bags to LUSH and get something much, much cooler: The chance to sample some of the cool company’s signature bath and shower goodies, and the knowledge that instead of your bags filling a landfill, they’ll actually get recycled.
But what about recycling the bags yourself by wearing them as a dress?
We wouldn’t recommend that – it’s a little too Marjorie-The-Trash-Heap from Fraggle Rock.
Oh god, please tell us you’re old enough to remember Fraggle Rock
