Anything But Plastic
For those of you unfamiliar with the 1970s television commercial: An ostensibly Native American actor named Iron Eyes Cody (he was actually an Italian-American) cried a famous tear that successfully awakened us into reducing litter by 88 percent with the “Keep America Beautiful” campaign. You’d think that emotional reaction would have a longer impact on us. It didn’t. We continue to litter plastics that kill delicate the life in our gorgeous bay, or break down and ultimately get eaten right back up by us. Alternatives to plastic are out there. Readers vote yes to those.
