Twiggy's Brave New World ...
Reader's Digest India
|May 2018
I’d wave a magic wand and make sure no child anywhere ever went hungry. This is the most fundamentally important thing in the world.
Glass bottles would replace plastic ones.
Glass is easily recyclable and it breaks down. The statistics around plastic waste are horrific: Each year over 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans. At this rate, by 2050 the amount of plastic will outweigh the amount of fish. How did we get to this? Plastic use has increased 20-fold in the last 50 years and our sea life mistake it for food. I’d ask people to think hard before buying plastic bottles or anything in excessive packaging.
At least one pet in each household would be a rescue animal.
I’d outlaw puppy farms, give much harder sentences to people who inflict cruelty on animals and encourage people to give a home to an abandoned or unwanted pet. I do a lot for animal charities—they do such important work.
Home economics would go back on the school curriculum.
