Smells Like Green Spirit

I’ve been giving lots of thought to plastics.

I wondered…if I tried to go one day without coming into contact with any plastics, would I be able to?

These are some of the things I wouldn’t be able to use:

* My fridge
* My hairdryer
* The seats on the bus or train
* My cell phone
* My computer
* My chairs at work
* Any cosmetics or bath products
* Most foods in stores, as most are wrapped in some form of plastic

The more I thought about it, the more the list goes on and on!

Plastic is so ever-present in our lives, and only a small fraction of that plastic is ever recycled. In other words, pretty much all of the plastic that has ever been created still exists! Isn’t that a scary thought?

If no matter is ever destroyed or created, will our earth just become more and more plasticized?

I just found this blog that I think is really interesting called Fake Plastic Fish. In it, the author Beth Terry keeps track of all the plastic products she disposes of.

What if we all had to do the same??
