"Plastic is everywhere you look. Our computers and children's toys are made out of it, and our water and slices of American cheese are packaged in it. But why is there so much and what is it doing to our bodies? Is it possible to use less plastic and be happier and healthier? In Plastic Purge, author Mike SanClements presents the history and science behind plastics, then teaches you how to cut down on the amount of plastic in your life. As an ecologist, SanClements has put together the most up-to-date and scientifically rigorous information available to explain how plastics release toxins into our bodies and the effect it has on us. Written with a casual, pop-science voice he provides easy-to-follow prescriptive advice for how to use less plastic, thereby reaping the benefits such as eating a healthier diet and living with less clutter. Dividing plastics into three separate categories: the good, the bad, and the ugly, SanClements shows you how to embrace the good (items like your phone or medical equipment), avoid the bad (i.e. food storage containers and toys that contain toxic chemicals like BPA and pthalates), and use less of the ugly (single-use plastic that's just plain wasteful)"--… (altro)

2.5-3.00 stars. Some good information, but it is buried in a lot of long, repetitive science info and statistics. I was expecting to get an entirely practical guide without historical sections on plastic. I will say, every-time I think plastic is ok and I shouldn't be so strict, I read some statistics that reminds me how detrimental it is, to both health and environment. This book is great for that, it really emphasizes how big the problem is, even if there aren't that great/many/in depth tips, it does a great job proving the point that you don't want plastic in your life. A great part about the book is that is is level headed and acknowledges we can't cut it out of every area and we probably don't want to (medical industry, food truck insulation, safety concerns). As an endnote/sidenote the some of the tips are a little more geared towards saving the planet vs. health or vice versa. It gives you tips like : do use milk jugs over milk cartons because the milk jugs leach less than the plastic lining in the milk cartons (health) and they are more easily recycleable (environment). Some of the tips are one or the other, but (from memory) a lot are kindof both.

Another note: It's kindof outdated since it was published in the early to mid 2010s (at least the version I read, idk if there's an updated version I'll have to check into that later). ( )
