discussion Plastic Hoarding

[Graeme C.]

I heard on the radio today, that 62% of people hoard plastic items in drawers etc.
I'm looking at my stash with some concern.......

I can confirm I have no plastic in my drawers - I'm not quite old enough for underwear linings! How blessed I am to be one of the 38%

Keep forgetting to recycle the box of sprue under the bench, so guilty I guess.

62%, wow! Didn’t know there were that many modellers around :tongue-out3:

This was a poll done in Japan, I guess

On the plus side that's lots of plastic not in the sea, so... Go modellers! Saving the planet, a kit at a time

As an added observation, as previously mentioned, if they're catalogued, you're not hoarding, you're collecting.

Well, the answer is simple - buy bigger draws :tears-of-joy:

So you never watched the David Attenborough documentary where he lambasts us all about the plastic in the sea. As he could not find any plastic, the gofer was sent off to purchase a dozen of those bright yellow plastic ducks that you have in the bath. They were promptly put into the sea and were bobbing about happily while David did his thing - filming finished - everyone cleared off to the bar - and the ducks were seen happily floating of to the horizon.....

Its the noise the plastic in your drawers makes when you move around, always think someone is following me :surprised:.

Absolutely. Loved that documentary. Powerful stuff. In fact, been mostly vegetarian since watching it. As for the plastic though - imagine if we recycled all that plastic into model kits!

We’d have kits we couldn’t build because nothing will stick together the plastic they’re made from?
