Becky decided to only buy food, drink and basic toiletries in 2019 (Photo: Twitter)A woman is celebrating after going a year without buying anything she doesn't need - to help the planet's oceans. Writing on Twitter Becky said she watched, with shame plastic floating in the oceans and wondered how much was hers. So, aside from mascara and moisturiser, Becky did not buy anything she didn't need. That meant "no clothes, shoes, presents, other makeup, hair products, jewellery, bags, decorations, anything disposable, plants, flowers, house items etc." After 12 months of austere living the first thing Becky plans on splashing out on is socks, plants, some nice tea towels and a tea strainer.
