Earth Day 2013

The library recently purchased the book, Plastic-free: How I kicked the plastic habit and you can too by Beth Terry.  You can find this book on display in the Reference Room right now, or later with call number TD196.P85 T47 2012.




While plastic products certainly have some benefits, such as in the medical field, too much plastic in our everyday lives is also dangerous to the planet.

Plastic has become something that is used for packaging, storing, transporting, etc. that we have to learn to use as little as possible and recycle as much as possible so that the plastic doesn't end up as garbage in our oceans and landfills.

On campus, you can recycle clean plastic #1-7.

Do you think you can become plastic free?  Leave a comment to share your ideas for using less and recycling more.
