Quote:

"Strolling through the average supermarket, shoppers find literally hundreds (if not thousands) of items to make their lives easier. Individually wrapped snack cakes, plastic baggies to store sandwiches for lunch, unbreakable soda bottles, and disposable razors, diapers, and shampoo bottles. Unless specifically requested, even the bags we use to carry home our goods are often plastic. To humans, these are items of comfort, if not necessity. But to marine animals, they can be a floating minefield."

Evaluation:

It probably does not seem like people go through allot of plastic in a day, but we do.  Not to mention the plastic that our DVD's and CD's are stored in and wrapped prior to used or the plastic toys that are purchased and loss on a daily bases.  We can provide ourselves and our children with reusable lunch pails, we can recycle our soda bottles, instead of using disposable razors purchase a rechargeable one.  Use cloth bags at the market, you can wash them and reused them.  If you are a stay at home parent, used the old cloth diapers that can be sterilize and wash.  Every time we purchase a product and dispose of it we are contributing to the pollution to our planet.  Think before you buy an item and think before you dispose of it.
