Purim is coming soon (2nd March), and Haman is not the only baddie who will be in evidence, for lo, we must also contend with the scourge of... plastic!  Yes, that's right, wicked plastic will be in abundance on Purim, not least in the form of the wrappers on the sweets being tossed around.  
 
The good folk at Eco-Judaism have put together a flyer on achieving a plastic-free Purim, although unfortunately it can only be accessed via the platform X, which has associations with a latter-day Haman-adjacent character.  If you still want to see it you can click here, otherwise, a brief summary: use recycled containers for mishloach manot; choose foods that come in paper, glass or cans; use permanent cutlery, not disposable; and recycle old clothes or costumes for your Purim fancy dress.
