OPL BOOK SUMMARY:  We are in a ridiculous plastic waste situation.  We realize it but are not sure as individuals what we can do about it.   Will McCallum, Head of Oceans at Greenpeace, brings the problem with plastic into focus.  He builds on his understanding and experience to share practical ways to reduce our plastic waste. The world is waking to the fact that we have created a material, are using it at an incredible scale, and do not have any way to deal with it afterward. It is damaging our oceans and life around the world.

We are on a path to have more plastic in the ocean by 2050 than fish. Microplastics are making it into our food supply and our bodies. We need to break from the throw-away culture we have become accustomed to.

The book has practical ways to eliminate plastic in your bathroom, closet, kitchen, and on the go.  You can start from wherever you are to eliminate single-use plastic from your daily lifestyle.  You can use your voice and purchasing power to drive changes in companies.  Last but not least, you can advocate in your community, organizations, and government to reduce plastic.  As Will shares:  “every victory against plastic begins with a single person or small group.” Let Will McCallum’s book assist you on your journey to break from plastic.
