About Me:

Several years ago, recovering from surgery, I read the article and photo that changed my life. The article was Plastic Ocean and the photo showed the carcass of a dead sea bird, its belly full of plastic pieces: bottle caps, cigarette lighters, even a toothbrush. I looked at my own life and realized that through my unconscious overconsumption, I was personally contributing the the suffering of creatures I didn't even know existed. That week, a new passion and blog was born: My Plastic-Free Life (originally called Fake Plastic Fish).

I've been blogging steadily ever since that defining moment in June of 2007, collecting and tallying my own plastic waste and writing about plastic-free alternatives and ways we can do better. Sometimes I succeed. Sometimes I fail. Sometimes I'm a lot preachier than I mean to be, and afterwards I feel like a jerk. Really, I'm no different from anyone else who cares about the planet. Hope you'll come visit and see for yourself.

Living with less plastic is really not as hard as it seems, but our awareness of disposable plastic in our lives can be transformative.
