114 Read the descriptions of modern products and fill in the gaps in the texts with their names.
1 Air freshener
It is called “Sweet Baby”, and if you spray it around, your room will have the smell of perfumed baby nappies. You might not like it, especially if you don’t have a baby. What is new about it is that this Air freshener uses electricity, which means you will be wasting energy together with filling the air with unwanted perfume. Moreover, the label on it states openly that it is harmful to the environment. If you have your Air freshener on for 15 hours a day, one refill will last for up to 80 days.
2 Wipes
There is a wide choice of them in any supermarket or at a chemist’s: makeup remover wipes, hand wipes, tooth wipes, wood wipes, dog wipes, window wipes, and houseplant leaf wipes, each containing some special chemical that makes them particularly suitable for a certain type of usage. The whole wipes industry exploits the idea that a separate disposable cloth for every chore exists. I think that many of them are exceedingly unnecessary. For example, I will never buy any houseplant leaf wipes because I wash my plants with soft soap foam under a nice cool shower! And the plants like it!
3 Ready meal
This invention is for you if you don’t like to cook. The kit consists of a cardboard sleeve, a plastic tray, a beef burger, a bun, some chips, some tomato sauce and a foil tray to cook everything in. Everything is wrapped separately and put in a box. But there is more here to throw away than there is to eat, and the use-by date gives you only 24 hours before the whole thing goes in the bin unopened. It seems that ready meal producers think that you have nothing in your kitchen apart from a microwave oven!
4 Plastic lawnmower blades
When I use these, I sometimes want to kill someone! You are familiar with this terrible product if you have got a cheap electric lawnmower: steel plastic lawnmower blades have been replaced by disposable plastic ones, and they barely are able to last for 15 minutes. They don’t actually cut the grass but shred it, and only one sort is compatible with your make of the mower. Surprisingly, the label says that it is made from 100% recycled paper.
5 Lettuce
Is it possible to be 75% organic? I don’t believe that! The label on a package of this fresh lettuce says it is 100% organic and invites us to admire its quality. Moreover, it says that it is alive and hydroponic, which is just another way of saying that it is grown in water. I don’t really understand why that means that lettuce has to be put into a thick plastic, individual box and exported from Spain. Many people are ready to pay more for organic food because they think that it is more environmentally-friendly, but this is not exactly so.
