Terri Cramer & Anna-May Richards both moved to Bristol to study and never left.
We love this city and are very proud of how green conscious the people are here. This has inspired us to do our bit too!
Down and Out in Bristol with Plastic documents our attempt to use less plastic on a budget. Without encouraging anyone to feel guilty about their plastic consumption and waste (life is for living) we encourage anyone who reads what we write to do the same- Our focus is on Bristol but we also investigate plastic waste and alternatives globally. Start small to make big change.
Feel free to send us suggestions about things we should investigate or shops and products we should include, or correct us on any information you think we’ve gotten wrong!

Thanks to George Orwell for writing Down and Out in Paris and London; inspiring both our name and our social conscience
We also owe a lot to Plastic Free: How I kicked the Plastic Habit and How You Can Too by Beth Terry
Thanks for the reblog guys : ) like what you’re doing here too.
Cheers ! It’s great to have you on board :]
I’m away just now but am looking forward to seeing our allotment when we get back. It’s going to be a jungle.
I crochet videotape – would you like mats made from videotape as I am not being given so many carrier bags now that the tax is being levied?

Hi ennirocraft – Sounds amazing. We don’t actually distribute the mats ourselves but contact an organisation local to yourself such as Shelter who may be able to help! Good Luck x
