The most useful aspect of McCallum's book is the understandable writing of scientific findings which showcase the disaster of plastic pollution. Much of the effective advice aims to inspire action at the political level. Several tropes on why individuals can make a difference while the author admits the changes need to come from federal governments and multinational corporations. Several handy ideas for how to cut down on single-use plastics. A good starter book if you are new to the idea of the global need to abandon even manufacturing plastics. ( ) This is a useful starting point for anyone looking to reduce their reliance on single-use plastic. Will McCallum works for Greenpeace and has seen, first hand, the impact of plastic on the world’s oceans. He discusses each part of a home -- bathroom, kitchen, clothing closet, etc. -- highlighting the many ways in which plastics are used and suggesting alternatives. These can be anything from brands that use sustainable ingredients and zero waste packaging, to lifestyle changes. The final sections of the book suggest ways to effect change in the workplace and local communities. The aim of this book is to provide practical advice and inspire action, and in that respect it succeeds. It’s easy, uncomplicated reading. But it also feels padded for length: the text is frequently interrupted by interviews with other experts, and quotes in a very large font. In the time since its publication in 2018, there have been many innovations and product launches that give consumers more choice.

En 2050 en el mar podría haber más plástico que peces. ¿Qué podemos hacer cada un ... inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
"An accessible guide to the changes we can all make--small and large--to rid our lives of disposable plastic and clean up the world's oceans. It takes 450 years for a plastic bottle to fully biodegrade, and there are around 12.7 million tons of plastic entering the ocean each year. At our current pace, in the year 2050 there could be more plastic in the oceans than fish, by weight. These are alarming figures, but plastic pollution is an environmental crisis with a solution we can all contribute to. How to Give Up Plastic is a straightforward guide to eliminating plastic from your life. Going room by room through your home and workplace, Greenpeace activist Will McCallum teaches you how to spot disposable plastic items and find plastic-free, sustainable alternatives to each one. From carrying a reusable straw, to catching microfibers when you wash your clothes, to throwing plastic-free parties, you'll learn new and intuitive ways to reduce plastic waste. And by arming you with a wealth of facts about global plastic consumption and anecdotes from activists fighting plastic around the world, you'll also learn how to advocate to businesses and leaders in your community and across the country to commit to eliminating disposable plastics for good"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
