review 1: As a wake-up call, this is effective, and depressing. Terry explains the problems with plastic in a way that hits both emotionally and logically. It's hard to ignore or deny the problem after reading. I recently got into the whole "Zero Waste" thing, so I knew I wanted to stop consuming one-use plastic disposables like ziploc bags and plastic utensils, but after reading, I really want to stop buying "long term" plastic stuff too (there's no such thing as Buy It For Life plastic and all plastic ultimately ends up at the landfill.) I also want to replace my existing plastic things, especially things that come into contact with food and/or heat. Luckily, as a how-to, this is also quite good. Terry offers very practical solutions for the task of avoiding plastic, which is, I'm... more going to say up front, pretty much impossible, but at least you can do your best. Tips on recycling, bulk shopping, non-plastic kitchen ware, travel without disposables, triaging your plastic replacement (what are the worst kinds etc). Really helpful and well-organized.
review 2: Loved it. This book gave me the ideas and tools to continue going plastic free and zero waste. Filled with useful tips, ideas and practical solutions without necessarily just having to buy all new (non-plastic) stuff. The book left me inspired and excited to go plastic free. I'd forgotten that ice cream cones have always been plastic free and zero waste and definitely worth the extra calories. less
