Well, four years later, I now know Beth is trying not to
bring NEW plastic items in her life via plastic bottle, tube, tub, or bag (and surprisingly more stuff than I realized) and
tries to find USED plastic alternatives if plastic is the only option such as a smart phone or a computer. I also now know that
recycling isn’t always the answer to our trashy problems, but reducing and refusing may be.
I still think Beth Terry is nuts but now for an entirely
different reason. We are friends and share the same sense of humor.
I think it is important that you know I know the author and one of my tips is featured in the book before you read my review of Plastic Free How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and You Can Too by Beth Terry even though I will try to be as objective as I can in this book review.

While recovering from surgery, Beth Terry read an article
about the large amount of plastic polluting the ocean – which is practically
her West Coast backyard. Beth saw various items from her daily life in the
photos. She decided to reduce and later remove those new disposable plastic
items from her life. Beth started a blog called My Plastic Free Life (formerly
known as Fake Plastic Fish) as she started her plastic free journey and took
the rest of us along for the ride. Now her blog is a book and includes more
details about the how, when, and whys of living a plastic free life.
