It is so good to see this version of the poem - I love it! I'm so glad it found a home in the world. I'll be traveling to Albany (our state capital) to lobby to ban plastics in early May. There are several new laws on the docket, and I wanted to be part of it, in part inspired by you and this wonderful piece!
Thanks so much Emma! Great to hear about the lobbying on plastics. If the poem did anything to inspire your action then that is more than I could have hoped for 😊
Yes, of course it did! I remember when we were discussing this poem with Angela and that's when I first learned about the container leaked toys all over the place. Of course I've been aware of plastics a long time, and have constantly tried to limit my usage, but it's very difficult. I'm hoping legislation will help.
It's so difficult to reduce plastic as an individual. It's in almost everything we buy. Legislation is a really powerful tool -- for instance the 10p charge on plastic bags here has been really successful in reducing use. We definitely need governments to take further action.

Timely and necessary writing. Congratulations Ruth.
