Hi Louise,
I am a researcher on the BBC One science show Bang Goes the Theory, and in our upcoming series, we are hoping to examine the impact that plastics are having on our environment and our health. As part of this, in the show we are looking to talk to people who have taken steps to reduce their plastic consumption about their methods and motivations!
I notice from your entries that you are doing the Plastic challenge at the moment - great effort! it would be fab to talk to you - if you might be interested, drop me an email at fleur.bone@bbc.co.uk
Thanks for your help!
Fleur
@FleurB I'll forward this message to Louise in case she hasn't seen it.
