The Year of Living Plasticlessly

Just because plastic lasts just about forever doesn't mean it can't die.

For the sake of environmental and human health, the age of plastic needs to end. With a new year getting started, now is as good of a time as any to start phasing out plastics. To get things going, the Natural Resources Defense Council is providing 10 suggestions for reducing the amount of plastic in our lives.

The stainless steel straws are interesting, and so are the bamboo utensils, but my favorite ideas are giving alternative gifts and adopting a "no-buy" goal.

Living without plastic--now, that's something that should last forever. Let's have forever begin in 2014.
