While most people will find the thought of bringing their own drinking straw around with them to be exhausting, nevertheless it’s fascinating to see what all the options are that are out there—it’s possible to use a lot less plastic, and more importantly a lot less disposable everything, than many people realize. Full of ideas at a variety of effort levels, from the obvious (bringing your own bags to the supermarket) to the hard core (giving up deodorant as it comes in a plastic tube and using only pencils and fountain pens to avoid plastic pens). sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Like many people, Beth Terry didn't think an individual could have much impact on the environment. But while laid up after surgery, she read an article about the staggering amount of plastic polluting the oceans and decided then and there to kick her plastic habit. Now she wants to teach you how you can too. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

It was very helpful in a lot of ways, but it was also very dense, and went so much into detail about what plastic is and why it's harmful straightaway, that I feel many people will be too overwhelmed to even finish it and move on to the more practical sections that come later on. I do think it was great that she included the information, it just made for dry reading in the beginning.
I've done a fair amount of reading on the issues, and I still managed to learn quite a bit!
Note: There is some profanity and mention of evolution.
"Why create disposable containers and packaging out of a material meant to last forever?" (p 28)
"Plastic pollution, it turns out, is also a social justice issue. Is a little convenience worth that price?" (p 27) ( )
