THIS CHRISTMAS

This Christmas I’ll be sitting watching the box on tube chair. Just in case a good film comes on, I've made a deluxe model for added comfort. Upcycling an old yoga mat by weaving inbetween the cardboard tubes. This keeps to the theme of being able to build tube chair without any tools, just by using your hands and only making it from existing products; cardboard tubes, cable ties and yoga mat (deluxe version only).

You can even store your new golf balls inside the cardboard tubes.

JUST BY WASHING

They were tiny and synthetic and in the greatest concentration near sewage outflows. In other words, they were coming from us.

In fact, 85% of the human-made material found on the shoreline were microfibers, and matched the types of synthetic material used in clothing.

Numerous studies have shown that small organisms readily ingest microplastics, introducing toxic pollutants to the food chain.

By sampling wastewater from domestic washing machines, it is estimated that around 1,900 individual fibers can be rinsed off a single synthetic shirt- ending up in our oceans.

The consequences of just washing your synthetic sport shirt(s) provide a huge quantity of tiny, toxic microplastics which enter all of our eco systems.

CALL FOR MUSIC ON GOLF TOURS

All this silence and 'quiet please' boards drives us nuts. Lets have some music on golf tours. Just for starters pros could select a favourite track for their first tee shot. Who wouldn't want to watch Tiger tee off too 'Mr lover lover' by Shaggy?

NOT IN MY NAME

British Olympian and the face of the London 2012 games, Jessica Ennis-Hill said: "I believe being a role model to young people is a huge honour and those in positions of influence in communities should respect the role they play in young people's lives and set a good example."

Just makes us wonder why Jessica Ennis-Hill wears and promotes Adidas sportswear who exploit young female textile workers. Do sponsored sports stars have any responsibility towards the textile workers who make their clothes?

PLASTIC IN BEER

Lie on the beech and grains of sand get everywhere. But those grains of sand are not just sand they include man-made synthetic microfibres.

Sip a cool beer only to find plastic microfibres mixing with the barley, hops, water and yeast. How the heck did they get inside the bottle?

Here’s why? Plastics do not degrade; instead they fragment, breaking down into lots of small, equally toxic bits. Those pieces stick around for centuries long after the usefulness of the product, making their way into any and all ecosystems on our planet.

From plastic bags, water bottles and polyester sportswear, we’re literally drowning in plastic.
