Exactly, which is why plastic manufacturers promote recycling campaigns. Good for business and shifts the responsibility.

Today I was meant to join Rabbis for Human Rights for their end-of-harvest event in the occupied West Bank. We were supposed to support Palestinian farmers in selling their goods and securing a bit of their livelihood that is constantly under threat. 🧵🧵

I'm saddened to learn that Irish poet Mary Guckian passed away in September. She had been ill and we were in touch by phone and text over the summer.
She wrote beautifully about life and her childhood home in Leitrim.
Here she is in her younger years.
