Life Without Plastic

If you’re looking to start a #plasticfree lifestyle, you may be wondering where to begin. If this is the case, this book offers an awesome way to get started in ditching the plastic! Life Without Plastic was written by Chantal Plamondon and Jay Sinha, who developed the idea for the book when looking for alternatives to plastic baby bottles when their son was born.  It begins by recognizing the significant role plastics have played in shaping our lives, but acknowledges that we now have to move away and search for alternatives. Life Without Plastic delivers an easy-to-follow crash course in the different types of plastics out there, what alternatives you can use, as well as lots of fantastic resources. The book takes us from room to room – illustrating all the ways we can adopt alternatives, whether for brushing our teeth or taking out the trash. Thankfully, this book isn’t preachy or demanding.  Chantal and Jay urge us to remember that the journey to move away from plastics will take time, effort, and a lot of hard work. The book itself is #plasticfree too as it is printed using BPA-free ink.  How cool is that?! Grab a copy of this book today, and let it help unleash your #plasticfree lifestyle! You can buy copies of the book as well as environmentally-friendly treats on Chantal and Jay’s website: http://www.lifewithoutplastic.com
