Every year, the world produces more than 300 million tonnes of plastic. These products will never break down and will endlessly pollute our oceans, air, land and food chain. The good news is there are many steps, small and large, we can take to change our plastic-using habits. This illustrated book offers more than 100 suggestions in an accessible, visual package. The introductory chapter walks readers through the different types of plastic and terminology. Starting with two of the most prevalent problems, the plastic water bottle and the plastic shopping bag, the book continues with actions we can take each day to reduce plastic, organised into lifestyle categories covering food, health and beauty, home, special occasions and more. Each entry pairs short, actionable text with facts explaining why the change matters, from swapping a to-go cup for a reusable mug to DIY cleaning products and alternatives to plastic wrap, take-out containers and commercial cosmetics.
