DESCRIPTION:Presentation: Living Plastic-Free\n\nMany of us have heard about the 
 problems with plastic -- polluting our oceans and beaches and harming our 
 health with toxic chemicals. But what can one person do to be part of the 
 solution? Join us for an evening of inspiring stories and practical tips 
 about ways to reduce plastic in your home and on the planet. Author Beth 
 Terry will share her journey from self-confessed plastic addict to 
 empowered plastic-free activist and explain why we can't just recycle our 
 way out of this mess.  Beth Terry's book, Plastic-Free: How I Kicked the 
 Plastic Habit and How You Can Too will be available for purchase and 
 signing at the end of the event. \n\nBeth Terry's Bio: After learning about 
 the devastating effects of plastic pollution on the environment and human 
 health, Oakland, CA accountant Beth Terry began an experiment to see if she 
 could live without buying any new plastic. Since then, she has reduced her 
 plastic waste to less than 2% of the national average. That experiment 
 turned into the popular blog MyPlasticFreeLife.com and new book 
 Plastic-Free: How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and How You Can Too. A 
 founding member of the Plastic Pollution Coalition, Terry gives 
 presentations on plastic-free living and why, despite what some critics 
 assert, our personal actions really do make a difference. Her work and life 
 have been profiled in the award-winning film Bag It, as well as Susan 
 Freinkel's book, Plastic: A Toxic Love Story and Captain Charles Moore's 
 Plastic Ocean.\n\nThe event is free, but the park does charge $5 per 
 vehicle parking fee.\n\nInfo:  Vinh ~ gardenlane [at] netzero [dot] net\n
