Giving Up Plastic in Vermont

Tags: , , ,

My name is David McKay. I live in the Green Mountains of the state of Vermont, USA. I am an artist, a writer, and a teacher.
I became “aware” of plastics this year. Following the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit back in December of 2009, I realized that change is necessary, and so my New Year’s Resolution was to eliminate single-use plastics from my life. It is up to us, as a human race, one person at a time, to make a change towards sustainability. I am currently in graduate school to be a middle school English teacher. I hope to teach children to love reading and writing as well as to respect the only planet we have through living life responsibly.

  • Plastic lasts for ever and we are using it to make one use, throwaway items. We have created everlasting rubbish and plastic litter is increasing exponentially. Plastic pollution is destroying the landscape, killing wildlife and poisoning the seas.
    .
    Evidence is also emerging that the plastic we use in everyday to wrap our food, wear next to our skin and use to decorate our homes may well be poisoning us.
    .
