Plastic-Free

How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and How You Can Too

De: Beth Terry

Narrado por: Beth Terry

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. In her quirky and humorous style - well known to the fans of her popular blog, My Plastic-Free Life - Terry provides personal anecdotes, stats about the environmental and health problems related to plastic, and personal solutions and tips on how to limit your plastic footprint. Terry includes handy lists and charts for easy reference, ways to get involved in larger community actions, and profiles of individuals - Plastic-Free Heroes - who have gone beyond personal solutions to create a change on a larger scale. Plastic-Free also includes chapters on letting go of eco-guilt, strategies for coping with overwhelming problems, and ways to relate to other people who aren't as far along on the plastic-free path.

Both a practical guide and the story of a personal journey from helplessness to empowerment, Plastic-Free is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the ongoing health and happiness of themselves, their children, and the planet.

Wonderful non-judgmental advice and options

Fantastic story of Beth’s awareness evolution that’s well-researched. I appreciated that she’s not judgmental, and her position isn’t expressed in a dogmatic way. She also provides many helpful tips that are designed to meet you where you are in your own plastic-free journey.

Interesting and inspiring

I’ve been living low waste for a few years now and when I down loaded this book I thought “11 hours?!! Oh mans this is going to be boring isn’t it?” But I was so wrong! It’s very interesting and super thorough! I learned a ton of new stuff and found so much motivation.

Great resource! Well done!

This book is informative & inspirational I recommend it to anyone who has any interest in kicking the plastic habit.

Interesting book

I loved listening to this book, however the only thing that I found annoying throughout this book was that she would reed off the websites and how you would type them into the URL. I know some people might like that while being at home but for the people who listen to these while driving, it just seems like a waste of time to listen to. Other that that little complaint, I really enjoyed listening to this book and she gad some very eye opening things to say. One thing that I did love was that she added additional material to the audible that is not in the original book, which I loved. I also loved that she also narrated the book, it made the people listening feel more connected to the book and the story she was trying to tell.

an informative and important book

glad I read it , important for anyone trying to reduce hope much rubbish they produce!
