Who Wants to Do The Right Thing with Plastic?

20 February 2023

Megan Herbert imagines an alternative version of the popular television show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? A caricature of the cartoonist herself is the contestant who suggests that the onus to reduce plastic waste should be on governments rather than on individuals. Herbert’s cartoon is a response to the ill-fated attempt by supermarket giants Coles and Woolworths to restart the failed REDcycle soft plastics recycling scheme.

Four contestants sit in a competition to pick an answer to the question 'What's the best way to limit your personal plastic consumption?' and one responds 'I think I'd like to call for some legislation?'
