Yes, there are alternatives to plastic : returning planet plastic to planet Earth

Summary: The world is rebelling against plastic! We can turn Planet Plastic back in to Planet Earth if we all pull together. If we want to survive as a species and allow our natural world to thrive alongside us, we must go through some of the biggest challenges and changes in the history of mankind. Our precious oceans can't take any more rubbish and definitely not more toxic plastic that is endangering and killing life everywhere! We need to know what it is doing to our world right now to stop its apocalyptic onslaught. The ultimate solution to the global plastic crisis is to stop making plastic in its many forms. Natural and sustainable alternatives must be used in order to protect the world from this scourge of the age. We can all do something today to reduce our reliance on plastic. The handy 'Swaps' section of this book will help you to rethink the plastic you use and to find your own way through this mine field. Most of the more unusual items mentioned in the book can be purchased in Plastic Free/Zero Waste shops or online. We all have our part to play. Are you ready? All hands on deck for this war! A healthy and thriving planet for all life OR polluted plastic nightmare of global proportions...It's entirely our choice!

Summary

Yes, There Are Alternatives to Plastic : Returning Planet Plastic to Planet Earth


Our world is suffocating in plastic! Every moment we are breathing it in and it is entering the bodies of all living creatures! We can't go on wrapping and bottling everything in toxic plastic, and must find natural and sustainable alternatives for all petrochemical plastic that is destroying our beloved Earth. I grew up when there was very little plastic and I want to show in Yes, there are Alternatives to Plastic that it is possible to live a plastic-less/eventually plastic-free life. We did it before and we can do it again. Dip into the handy A - Z of Swaps whenever you need a plastic-free tip or plastic-free cleaning advice.
