Global plastic binge | Rubber band wastage | Moon boots | Road songs | New UK passport
The global plastic binge (Report, 26 December) needs more than "serious source reduction efforts". I have just completed a dry-season 10-day voyage along the Irrawaddy river in Myanmar, and did a similar trip down the Mekong river in Vietnam last year. The river banks are sadly festooned with plastic waste tipped there in the absence of municipal refuse collection. Come the rainy season the whole lot will be swept into the sea.

" My front garden has become a repository for rubber bands. Does the Post Office do an annual audit of them?
