Totally agree, we must reduce our plastic consumption. We also have to reduce our airmiles.... your map of where you'd been was pretty stunning. Our family has made a committment to no plastic water bottles AND to taking all our holidays in places we can reach without flying.....
Totally agree that we MUST reduce our unnecessary plastic use. Our family all carry a metal bottle with them wherever they go (gluggs are great since you can replace the spout when you need to), we have also committed to minimum travel.. perhaps you guys could also look at reducing your carbon footprint by flying less (do correct me if you are swimming or travelling by carrier to all these places!). Your map of the world was a shocking wake up to our overuse of our ability to travel the world.
Unfortunate... And I applaud the direction but it's a bit extreme and most people like to do things half-way so I would just urge responsible recycling. And only buying products that can be. Thanks for the post!
@koptop Unlike glass, paper and metal, plastic "recycling" is a FAIL. Plastic has little value and "recyclables" get landfilled or downcycled into door mats, fill, etc which don't stem the need for virgin plastic to make new bottles, etc! Each week, just for bottled water, enough plastic bottles are discarded in the US alone to go around the planet 5 times. No way in he** to recover all that, and even less possible to recycle it. Refusing single use disposables is not extreme. We MUST do it!
they've been to the philippines......our place is also covered with plastic

The sequel to our Earth Day / 'Green Pug' video will be about the plastic problem. Have added this to the inspiration bucket. NICE!
