All these years using wire and plastic clothes hangers and now it turns out we are collectively responsible for damaging the environment.
As a result, Crystal Cruises has switched to new EcoHangers, manufactured from recyclable materials, themselves 100% recyclable and proven stronger than wire hangers in lab tests.
Just what do people do with their hangers? The heaviest thing I've ever seen on one is a cute towel monkey made by my room steward.
I'm sure this is all good green news. More importantly, though, does it mean an end to that maddening tinkle tinkle from the wardrobe that you get on the last night, once all your clothes are off the offending hangers and packed?
And what exactly has Crystal done with those eco-unfriendly hangers? Surely not added them to the 8.5 billion that it says fill America's landfill sites each year.
