How to Live Plastic Free by Luca Bonaccorsi
This book will teach you everything you need to know about removing unnecessary plastic from your life.One for the dedicated eco-warriors, this book provides tips for.. protecting our oceans and you might also find that you save money in the process * The Independent *
So here are the three simple choices; you can stick your head in the beach and hope that when you pull it out the nightmare has gone away, you can carry on regardless hoping that 'they' will fix the problems (but note - 'they' won't, 'they' won't even try until it's too late) or you can get up and get on with changing the world yourself. Which means that actually there isn't a choice at all. Read this book, think and then act - it's our only hope.' * Chris Packham, MCS Ocean Ambassador *
It offers simple straightforward advice for everyday life. If you're trying to make changes at home, this is a brilliant handbook written by people who, like you and me live 'normal' lives and who have witnessed the struggle, first-hand, when trying to live a plastic free life. A good read from cover to cover or a pick up and put down book, it's full of advice on going plastic free from the time you get up until the time you go to bed with all the activities you can think about in between - babies, holidays, pets, cooking, clothes - they've left no stone unturned. And all with a good dose of humour and history thrown in! I love the sea and the coast and have always been passionate about the health of the ocean, so when it comes to taking on board the tips in this book - I'm in. * Deborah Meaden, MCS Ocean Ambassador *

Marine Conservation Society (Author)
The Marine Conservation Society is the UK's leading marine charity. We grew from the hard work and forward-thinking of a number of people who, in the 1970s, could see the harm being wreaked on our marine environment. We started out as the Underwater Conservation Society and became the Marine Conservation Society in 1983, led by marine scientists with a network of dedicated volunteer supporters. Our role is to educate and inspire people to change their habits, opinions and preconceptions to help preserve our oceans for generations to come. We've treated our seas with too little respect for too long - too many fish have been taken out, too much rubbish put in. Now our seas are paying the price for the years of neglect and unrestricted damaging activities, with rising levels of pollution and species in decline. Our work has resulted in the creation of marine protected areas around the UK, plastic carrier-bag charges to reduce litter and supermarkets being more aware of the need to stock sustainable seafood. We've made sure that more people than ever know the dangers of marine litter, especially plastic litter.
