Did You Ever Notice that Water Bottled in Plastic TASTES like Plastic? That's Plastic Going Into Your Body...
Of Course, If You Shower in Toxic Waste Water... That's a Problem too... Your Skin Absorbs the Poison... That's Why a Whole House Filter is Best... Contact Your Local Plumber for advice and installation... or MOVE to a Safer Neighborhood.
#2. Stop Drinking Coke... It's often packaged in Plastic Bottles... So is Pepsi, RC Cola, Mountain Dew and Generic Cola... I personally LOVE the HIGH I Get from Caffeine and Sugar... Especially when driving a car long distances! That's FUN!
However... It is Possible to Simply Take Those Two Drugs without Dissolving them in a Flavored and Carbonated Beverage... TRY COFFEE... I Remember putting Brown Sugar and Nutmeg in a Cup of Coffee at the Coffee Shop and I FELT OPTIMISTIC! Buzzing Like a Bee and Enthusiastic About Life! Whee!
Or Drink TEA... Or Drink Fruit Juice Made from a Concentrate... Avoid the Plastic Bottles!
Of Course, Caffeine is sold at the drug store in PILL Form... Especially Interesting is the Combo Pills with Aspirin, Acetaminophen and 65 mg Caffeine... Pain Relievers and Stimulant... Keep taking those and You'll end up driving from San Jose to Seattle... Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Myth of Plastic Recycling...
For many, recycling feels like a tangible way to personally combat climate change and to positively affect the environment. That's partially because of decades of public environmental campaigns, advertisements and even school education aimed at increasing recycling. But the reality is that only a small fraction of plastic is ultimately recycled...

I recently Got an Email showing me the Ecological Awareness Artwork of Benjamin Von Wong...

#3. Notice the Plastic Crap you consume and Simply Buy Less of it. I own an iPhone 6 and It Does Everything I Want a Phone to Do... "THEY" Keep on telling me to Buy a NEW IMPROVED Model... TV Ads Promoting the iPhone 14 and YET... I'm Already Happy... Why Buy More Plastic Crap?
I own a Toshiba Laptop but the Hard Disk Drive Failed and... It made more sense to Replace the Entire Machine with a Chromebook than have the Hard Drive Fixed or Replaced... and the Chromebook Doesn't Have a Hard Drive so it's Impossible that the Hard Drive will fail...
#4. Stop buying music CDs... Everything is available online for Free on Youtube... so... stop buying Plastic Ware!
#5. Buy High Quality Tools that Last a Lifetime... I Have an Yamaha Acoustic Guitar and It Will Still be Wonderful 50 Years from Now... Look at Willie Nelson's Trigger...
#6. I watch Kids Cartoons on TV and The Advertisements Aimed at Children Promote Endless Streams of Plastic Crap... My Grandfather Make a Toy Train Set out of Wood and My Brother and I Both played with it... His Daughters Played with it... and His Grand Daughters Played with it...
The Plastic Crap Toys are designed to break, be thrown away... and then the Parents need to buy MORE MORE MORE!
#7. Plastic Knives, Forks, Spoons, Plates and Cups... REALLY! Simply Use Real Utensils and Wash 'em... My Great Grandmother Got Engraved Silverware for her Wedding and We Still Have It...
