A unique look and approach to eliminating plastic from everyday life to stop poisoning yourself.
Jay Sinha and Chantal Plamondon are the founders of Life Without Plastic. They live in Wakefield, Quebec, Canada.
"Jay and Chantal's wonderful book provides a clear roadmap for
protecting our families, our oceans and our personal health from
the dangers of single use plastic."--Marcus Eriksen and Anna
Cummins, co-founders, The 5 Gyres Institute "Life Without Plastic
has given me hope for what is possible in eliminating this toxic
threat from our lives. I'm much closer to my goal of a plastic free
life, owing to this wonderful book."--Ed Begley, Jr., actor and
sustainable living expert "Life Without Plastic is must read for
the plastic-conscious consumer."--Captain Charles Moore, founder
and research director, Algalita Marine Research and Education
"Eliminating plastics is a core step of waste-free living. Life
Without Plastic will not only make the planet and your family
healthier, it will improve your standard of living so greatly that
all you'll regret is not having started earlier!"--Bea Johnson,
author of Zero Waste Home "Chantal and Jay have given us a
startling reality check. They give us a compelling map for our
personal responsibility. Read Life Without Plastic. Get informed.
Take action!"--Joel Solomon, investor, convenor and author of The
Clean Money Revolution "Jay and Chantal are people who paddle out
to turn the tide regardless of the waves ahead. They are the
impetus for positive change, inspiring our small coastal village
Bahia Ballena in Uvita, Costa Rica, to enact a destination-wide
plastic-free initiative. Life Without Plastic is the how-to-guide
that will allow you to ride the plastic free wave of change we all
sorely need."--Travis BaysFounder Bodhi Surf + Yoga, 1st B Corp
Certified surf and yoga camp in the world "Life Without Plastic is
a pertinent and useful guide to living mindfully in the
Anthropocene (a human dominated planet.) Human influence on the
planet and its functioning is widespread and spreading, such that
no biome of the Earth's surface is free from interactions with
humanity. Plastic debris is a pervasive anthropogenic contaminant,
identified in marine ecosystems across the globe, and recognized as
a serious global environmental concern. Life Without Plastic
provides a helpful guide to encourage those around us to reduce
waste and plastic consumption. Indeed, becoming a plastic-free hero
capable of fitting an entire year's worth of rubbish into a jar
certainly doesn't happen overnight! This book provides thoughtful
information to help families plan ahead and change one step at a
time--from lunch packing gear to sports equipment."--Céline
Jennison, co-founder, Plastic Tides "Forget the title! You don't
have to be seeking a life without plastic to get a lot out of this
book. It's a fantastic resource for anyone concerned about the
overwhelming place plastic holds in modern life."--Susan Freinkel,
author, Plastic: A Toxic Love Story "For seven years I've been on a
journey to live close to zero waste and to reduce the amount of
plastic in my life, especially single use, disposable plastic. It
is a challenge to keep up these practices indefinitely, especially
in a society so immersed in plastic and the throw-away lifestyle.
Over the last few years plastic has managed to sneak back into my
life in ways that I had already rid myself of it.
This book, Life Without Plastic, has re-invigorated my desire to
live a life without plastic. Plus, it has given me a deeper
understanding of exactly what plastic is, the many types of
plastic, the human harm it can cause and the impact it has on our
world. After finishing just the first chapter I was already going
through all of my stuff and sifting out the plastic that had
creeped back into my life and wasn't serving me well!
The book is written in a manner that can be read by someone fully
immersed in the plastic life that wants to make their first change,
or by someone like myself who is well on their way to a life
without plastic, or anywhere in between. It is non-preaching,
non-judgmental, meets us all where we are, and guides us into a
happier, healthier and more sustainable life without plastic."
