LIFE WITHOUT PLASTIC
We all r addicted to plastic,is that possible to break this addiction?Could we really live without it??
"Nobody likes change," Peter Lobin of eco-friendly Solid Waste Solutions Corp. had told me. "But I think the world is changing."
"Plastic Pete," as Lobin refers to himself, was right. But could I turn away from products that were raising so many health and environmental questions?
There was Canada’s ban of the chemical bisphenol-A in plastic baby bottles. There was news that melamine, a chemical compound used to make certain kinds of plastics, was found in eggs, infant formula and milk from China. And, of course, there’s the fact that plastic doesn’t degrade for hundreds of years.
"No one can do the whole thing in one week," warned Beth Terry, an accountant from Oakland, Calif., who blogs about trying to live the plastic-free life at fakeplasticfish.com. "
So, we would do it. We would take a household _ our family of four _ that on average buys or discards 200 plastic items a week and try to turn it plastic free.
