plastic free you and me 1

 

i appreciate and actually prefer, my consciousness raising encouragements to be aesthetically pleasing, so, todays’ post features posters by my friend dianna cohen, artist and co-founder of the plastic pollution coalition.  for over 20 years she has been piecing together gorgeous compositions, mostly re-using plastic bags (and other re-purposed materials) – that’s one way to keep it out of the waterways.  another is by making a conscious effort to refuse plastic whenever possible. then, at the very least, we are no longer contributing to the plastic pollution cycle.  here’s my own “don’t bring none, won’t be none” pledge:

i will

1. not buy or acquire any new plastic

2. refuse disposable plastic

3. not cook with plastic nor store food in plastic. remember: if your food’s in plastic, plastic’s in you…

4. minimize all other plastic use (goodbye water bottles, lighters, zip-loc baggies and big tupperware-style storage bins!)

i am trying. really trying to ween from all plastic and to refuse disposable plastics at every opportunity. 1 day at a time.

 

on that note, for further encouragement of the aesthetically pleasing variety:
