Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"A
plastic
footprint
is the metric used to measure how much
plastic
your
lifestyle contributes to our global trash pile, and by understanding the production and prevalence of
plastic
and measuring
your
own use, you
can
begin changing
your
plastic
habits.
Your
Plastic
Footprint
sets out to
do
just that. Science writer Rachel Salt first walks you through the history and science of
plastic
production, the enormity of our
plastic
problem and the everyday items that are made of
plastic
, differentiating between lifetime use and single use. She then guides you through solutions to curbing
your
plastic
dependency, focusing mainly on individual shifts that you
can
easily implement in
your
life. The book features fascinating photographs and explanatory infographics that will help you visualize everything from the process of converting fossil fuels into
plastic
to the impact of
plastic
straw usage over a year.
About
8 million tons of
plastic
waste escapes into the oceans every year, and
plastic
litter
can
be found on virtually every coastline. Scientists have even found microplastics embedded in Artic ice. This is a problem that simply isn't going away, and we need massive shifts on both individual and systemic scales to mitigate the damage we have already done.
Your
Plastic
Footprint
is required reading for every conscious citizen looking to make a difference."--From publisher.
