Throwaway Plastic Has Corrupted Us

Earlier this month the New York Times published an article which presented the author’s opinions about how the convenience of single-use plastic items have dramatically changed people’s behaviors. Yet, these behavioral changes have not improved our lives and instead have resulted in our unhealthy addiction to plastics.

We encourage you to read this article about the impact of single-use plastics on our behaviors and the subsequent impact on the growth of plastic pollution. However, the author did not leave us in a state of hopelessness and instead offered some meaningful solutions to the problem.

Below is a link to the article. Be aware that when you open the article you may be asked to subscribe to the Times. Yet, you should be able to still read the article without doing so.
