Changing Habits to Help Stop the Plastic Invasion

15-Year-Old Ava Bland Provides Her Insight

We have all seen how plastic has invaded every inch of our planet – from our oceans, lakes and rivers, to our coastlines, forests, parks, roadsides and more.

Many of us want to stop this plastic invasion, however the problems that we face are huge and it can often feel very overwhelming. This is why so many people ignore this plastic crisis when they are only presented with the problem and not a hint of the solutions.

Foreword for Living Without Plastic

Together Our Actions Can Create Social Change

Plastic is an incredible invention that has helped democratize the world. Plastics have improved modern life, from food safety and access to goods and transportation, to medical sanitation and more.

Versatile, lightweight, durable, and affordable, plastic is a difficult material to replace. And yet despite the growing evidence of the negative impacts of plastic on the environment, animal health, and even human health, many people find it difficult to end this very convenient relationship. We are faced with the dilemma of trying to find a balance between human convenience and environmental impact.
