A SUNRISE CENTER GREEN SALON PRESENTATION

Beyond Plastics: Making Informed Choices
for a Healthy World

with Stuart Moody and Barbara Lovejoy

Plastic Waste

Plastics are toxic, and they have taken over our world! The Earth is drowning in non-biodegradable plastics that are littering our streets and parks, clogging our drain systems, polluting our oceans and water supplies, cluttering our beaches, creating many severe health disorders, killing millions of sea birds and animals, and contributing to global warming.

Come to this timely, interactive presentation to learn about the problems and explore practical, healthy solutions for yourself, your loved ones and future generations. Together, we can end the plague of plastic pollution!

Through a short film, slide show, solution-focused discussion and a display of alternative products, you will discover:
• How plastics are creating toxic effects on our health and the environment.
• How the manufacture of plastics contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
• How to protect ourselves from toxic and wasteful products and packaging.
• Three formulas for success: The Precautionary Principle, Zero Waste, and Producer Responsibility.
• Safer, earth-friendly materials and products that you can start using today.
