"The Plastic Detox"

I just finished watching "The Plastic Detox" on Netflix, and it moved me to tears in a hopeful, uplifting way.  For years, I've followed this zero waste, plastic free lifestyle with the belief that it would benefit my children, and now this documentary validates my efforts.

If you're looking to to begin the plastic detox, start with these 3 things.

  1. No more plastic bottle beverage, bring your own stainless bottle, coffee mug.  I use my coffee mug to drink water from a fountain or sink.  NYC has the BEST water.
  2. Lunch, snack container; I always use a glass or stainless steel container to pack lunch and snacks.
  3. Oral care.  Switch to toothpaste tablet and plastic free toothbrush.
