Another Reason to Love Jeff Bridges

Jeff Bridges is a star, but this time it is because of his concern for our planet.  

Plastic is everywhere but it does not have to be.  Consider these facts:

"Plastic is a substance the earth does not digest."  Most of it winds up in landfills and oceans.

"A plastic bottle cannot be a plastic bottle again."  It works for glass but not plastic - it is downcycling, not recycling.

Almost 90% of trash is plastic. 

Chemicals in plastic, absorbed by our bodies, can lead to health issues including hormone disruption and endocrine issues, and are attributable to some cancers.

Jeff shared online, "As a member of the Plastic Pollution Coalition, I'm excited to share the launch of their new website!  Check out www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org for information about plastic pollution and its toxic impacts as well as what YOU can do to reduce your plastic footprint."

Visit the website to learn more and think about what you can do - glass, paper bags, reusable canvas bags, wax paper, and so forth...

The Plastic Pollution Coalition mission is to stop plastic pollution and its toxic impact on humans, animals, the ocean and the environment. PPC was founded in 2009 as a platform to amplify a common message through strategic planning and communication. Our more than 400 member organizations and a growing coalition of individuals seek to increase awareness and understanding of the plastic pollution problem, and to find sustainable solutions. We aim to empower more people and more organizations to take action to stop plastic pollution and to live plastic-free.
