very interesting read. glad to be given a deeper insight in to the plastic business.
Eye opening. A welcome edition to the library
Beth Terry writes truthfully about the long process of deplacticyzing her life. She acknowledges that some steps are easier to take than others but offers helpful advice and checklists to help others through the process. The many resources were especially helpful.

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)… (mais)
